Aug 28, 2017 at 17:54 comment added Amara First of all the work done by gravity in this case is $ mg \sin \theta s $ where $ s $ is the distance along the hill. To determine whether a force is conservative or not you must show that it does not depend on the details of any possible path between two endpoints. What you have done is calculated the equation for work done by friction along a certain path i.e your work does not prove your point
