Question
It is proposed to move a particle in simple harmonic motion on a rough horizontal surface by applying an external force along the line of motion. Sketch the graph of the applied force against the position of the particle. Note that the applied force has two values for a given position depending on whether the particle is moving in positive or negative direction.

A heavy box is kept on a smooth inclined plane and is pushed up by a force $F$ acting parallel to the plane. Does the work done by the force $F$ as the box goes from $A$ to $B$ depend on how fast the box was moving at $A$ and $B$ ? Does the work by the force of gravity depend on this?
