Randall D. Knight β Work and Kinetic Energy: Problem 17
A 25 kg air compressor is dragged up a rough incline from \(\vec{r}_1 = (1.3\hat{i} + 1.3\hat{j})\text{ m}\) to \(\vec{r}_2 = (8.3\hat{i} + 2.9\hat{j})\text{ m}\), where the y-axis is vertical. How much work does gravity do on the compressor during this displacement?
