How do I calculate work done due to net force on an object moving up an inclined plane?How do I calculate work done due to net force on an object moving up an inclined plane?
You don't say whether you've been told to ignore friction.
Assuming you have - then you need to calculate the vertical rise of the mass - or, more accurately the centre of mass. That may well be the sine of the distance travelled along the slope, depending on the wording of the question. Then the potential energy will be the force needed to raise that object (mass x gravity) times the distance raised.
