M A person is pulling a crate of mass M along the floor with a constant force F over a distance d. The coefficient of friction is . Find the work done by the force F on the crate. Same if F changes as F0(1+x2/d2). Find the work done by the force of friction on the crate. Find the net work done on the crate if the crate is pulled with a constant velocity. Find the final velocity of the crate if the crate is pulled with a constant acceleration starting from the rest.
