A worker pushed a 19 kg block 13 m along a level floor at constantspeed with a force directed 33Â° below the horizontal. If thecoefficient of kinetic friction between block and floor was 0.23,what were (a) the work done by the worker's force and (b) theincrease in thermal energy of the block-floor system?
