Step-by-Step Solution Step 1: Given information

The mass of the crate is m=10kg.

The initial speed of the crate is u=1.50 $\frac{m}{s}$

The pulling force parallel to the incline is, F=100N.

The angle made by the pulling force with the horizontal is, $θ = 20$

The coefficient of kinetic friction is, $μ_{k} = 0.400$

The distance the crate is pulled is, x=5.00m

Step 2: Determine the formulas:

The mechanical energy of a body is the combination of the change in the ‘The free-body diagram of the crate–incline system is given by,

Here, is the normal reaction force, and is the frictional force acting on the crate.

The formula for the work done by the gravitational force on the crate is given by,

$W_{g} = m g x \cos (90 + θ)$

Step 3(a): Work done by the gravitational force

Substitute the values and solve as:

The negative sign indicates that the work is done against the gravity.

Hence, the work done by the gravitational force on the crate is 167.6J.
