A block B of mass 2.7 kg is pulled at constant speed along a straight line on a rough horizontal floor. The pulling force has magnitude 25 N and acts at an angle of \(\theta\) above the horizontal. The normal component of the contact force acting on B has magnitude 20 N.
(i) Show that \(\sin \theta = 0.28\).
(ii) Find the work done by the pulling force in moving the block a distance of 5 m.
