The pulling force is constant, of magnitude 30 N , and acts upwards at an angle of \(10 ^ { \circ }\) from the path (see diagram). The box passes through the points \(A\) and \(B\), where \(A B = 20 \mathrm {~m}\) and \(B\) is above the level of \(A\). For the motion from \(A\) to \(B\), find
  1. the work done by the pulling force,
  2. the gain in potential energy of the box,
  3. the work done against the resistance to motion of the box.
