a block of mass 2 kg is resting on a horizontal table . A force of 10N is applied for 4 sec on the block in the horizontal direction . If g = 10 m/s² and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the table = 0.2, then the work done by the net force is ?

friction force= 4N
APPLIED FORCE= 10 N
NET FORCE= 10N-4N= 6N
acceleration of block= 6N/2kg= 3m/s2
distance travelled in 4 second= 24 m
WORK DONE BY APPLIED NET FORCE= 6N X 24m=144J
