Answer:

W = 218325J of work.

Explanation:

At constant velocity the net force acting on a body is zero. The forces acting on the camping equipment are the force of friction f and pulling force F of the campers.

So F – f = 0

F = f

f = μmg

Then

F = μmg

Given

μ = 0.06, m = 523kg and g = 9.80m/s²

F = 0.06×523×9.8 = 307.5N

Workdone = F × distance = 307.5 × 710 = 218325J of work
