The work done by tensional force of the rope is 2.25 J and the work done by gravity is 36.75 J.

The given parameters;

  • mass of the box, m = 25 kg
  • distance traveled by the box, d = 15 cm = 0.15 m
  • tension on the rope, T = 15 N

The work done by the tension is calculated as follows;

W = Fd

W = 15 x 0.15

W = 2.25 J

The work done by gravity is calculated as;

W = (25 x 9.8) x 0.15

W = 36.75 J

Thus, the work done by tensional force of the rope is 2.25 J and the work done by gravity is 36.75 J.
