To solve the problem, we need to calculate the work done in moving a 4 kg body by 8 m on a slope of 60 degrees from the horizontal, given the gravitational potential difference. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Calculate the vertical height (h) raised by the body:** The vertical height can be calculated using the sine function since we have the slope and the length of the slope. \[ h = 8 \sin(60^\circ) ...
