A force of 80 pounds on a rope is used to pull a box up a ramp inclined at 10° from the horizontal. The figure shows that the rope forms an angle of 33° with the horizontal. How much work is done pulling the box 22 feet along the ramp? The work done is foot-pounds. (Round to the nearest foot-pound.)
