A man sits on a buggy that is pulled along by a wire attached to a kite. The wire is at an angle of 40° to the horizontal and has a constant tension of 200 N. The man and buggy travel a distance of 20 m along a straight horizontal path. The wire and the path of the buggy are in the same vertical plane. What is the work done by the tension force on the man and buggy?
