Answer

a). (1) Positive. b). $14.7mJ$

Work Step by Step

a). The eraser will move in the direction of the frictional force, thus work done by this force is Positive. b). Displacement $=0.1m$ Coefficient of friction $=0.15$ Work done $=F\times d=0.15mg\times d=0.15\times0.1\times9.8\times0.1=14.7mJ$
