A block of mass kg slides down a line of greatest slope of an inclined plane. The top of the plane is at a vertical height of m above the level of the bottom of the plane. The speed of the block at the top of the plane is and the speed of the block at the bottom of the plane is . Find the work done against the resistance to motion of the block.
