Question
You need to raise a heavy block by pulling it with a massless rope. You can either
a. pull the block straight up height hh, or
b. pull it up a long, frictionless plane inclined at a 15 degree angle until its height has increased by h.
Assume you will move the block at constant speed either way. Will you do more work in case a or case b or both.
I don't understand why work is the same because I thought work= Fcos theta
So technically a should be doing more work but that is not the answer.
