A person pushes horizontally on a heavy box and slides it across the level floor at constant velocity. The person pushes with a 60.0 N force for the first 6.88 m, at which time he begins to tire
The force he exerts then starts to decrease linearly from 60.0 N to 0.00 N across the remaining 6.88 m. How much total work did the person do on the box? A) 619 J
B) 826 J
C) 495 J
D) 925 J

Addition by Components: Three ropes are tied in a knot as shown in the figure. One student pulls on rope A with 1.0 pound of force, and another student pulls on rope B with 7.0 pounds of force. How hard and in what direction must you pull on rope C to balance the first two pulls? Give the direction by specifying the angle (clockwise or counterclockwise) of the pull with the direction of rope A.
