    W = 60.62 ft-lbs

    Explanation:

    given,

    Horizontal force = 7 lb

    distance of push, d = 10 ft

    angle of ramp, θ = 30°

    Work done on the box = ?

    We know,

    Work done is equal to force into displacement.

    W = F. d cos θ

    W = 7 x 10 x cos 30°

    W = 70 x 0.8660

    W = 60.62 ft-lbs

    Hence, work done on the box is equal to W = 60.62 ft-lbs
