A student pushes a crate 2 m2\,\text{m} across a level floor by exerting a force of 35 N35\,\text{N} directed 30∘30^{\circ} below the horizontal. Describe the sign (positive, negative, or zero) of the work done by (i) the normal force exerted by the floor and (ii) Earth’s gravitational force on the crate during this displacement, and justify your answer.
