    W = 34.64 ft-lbs

    Explanation:

    given,

    Horizontal force = 4 lb

    distance of push, d = 10 ft

    angle of ramp, θ = 30°

    Work done on the box = ?

    We know,

    W = F. d cos θ

    W = 4 x 10 x cos 30°

    W = 40 x 0.8660

    W = 34.64 ft-lbs

    Hence, work done on the box is equal to W = 34.64 ft-lbs
