2 A box of mass 5 kg is pulled at a constant speed of \(1.8 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) for 15 s up a rough plane inclined at an angle of \(20 ^ { \circ }\) to the horizontal. The box moves along a line of greatest slope against a frictional force of 40 N . The force pulling the box is parallel to the line of greatest slope.
  1. Find the change in gravitational potential energy of the box.
  2. Find the work done by the pulling force.
