Suppose you have a 50 kg block of steel. If you have 103 exajoules at your disposal, how many times could you push this 50 kg block of steel around the earth at its equator? Assume the coefficient of friction is 2.710.

Please tell me if I'm on the right track. I will be using the equation for work (force x distance). If I am on the right track, how would I include the coefficient of friction in my solution?

Thanks!
