Physics

To calculate the work done by the resultant force, we first need to find the net force acting on the object in the direction of displacement (which is to the right, along the horizontal).

Resolve the forces into horizontal and vertical components

acts horizontally to the right, so its horizontal component is .

acts at an angle of above the horizontal. The horizontal and vertical components are:

acts horizontally to the left, so its horizontal component is
