Physics

To calculate the average power delivered by the gravitational force, we need to follow these steps:

Calculate the work done by the gravitational force

The work done by gravity is the change in gravitational potential energy as the block moves down the incline. The work done is given by:

Where:

is the component of gravitational force along the incline,

is the distance traveled along the incline,

is the mass of the block,

is the acceleration due to gravity,

is the angle of the incline.

 

First, calculate the component of the gravitational force along the incline:
