Problem

A block is pulled along a straight horizontal track and undergoes a displacement of 4 m4\,\text{m} to the right. Two constant horizontal forces act simultaneously on the block: F1=10 NF_1 = 10\,\text{N} to the right and F2=6 NF_2 = 6\,\text{N} to the left. (i) Find the work done by each force separately. (ii) Find the algebraic sum of the two works and state the physical meaning of its sign.
