1. You need to load a crate of mass m onto the bed of a truck. One possibility is just to lift the crate
straight up over a height h, equal to height of the truck's bed. The force exert in this case is F1
and the work done in this case is W1. The other possibility is to slide the crate up the frictionless
ramp of length L as shown in the figure. In this case you exert force F2 and perform work W2.
