Question

A box moves 5m horizontally when force F=10N is applied at an angle 0=30°.

What is the work done?
please help and show your work if you can

Answer 1

43.3J

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Force = 10N

Distance = 5m

Angle = 30°

Unknown:

Work done = ?

Solution:

Work done is the force applied to move a body through a particular distance;

Work done = Force x distance cos Ф

Now insert the parameters and solve;

Work done = 10 x 5 cos 30 = 43.3J
