A force F is used to raise a 4-kg mass M from the ground to a height of 5 m. What is the work done by the force F? (Note: sin 60° = 0.87; cos 60° = 0.50. Ignore friction and the weights of the pulleys.)

Answer:

Answer:196 Joules

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello

Note: I think the text in parentheses corresponds to another exercise, or this is incomplete, I will solve it with the first part of the problem

the work is the product of a force applied to a body and the displacement of the body in the direction of this force

assuming that the force goes in the same direction of the displacement, that is upwards

W=F*D (work, force,displacement)

the force necessary to move the object will be


F=mg(mass *gravity)\\F=4kgm*9.8(m)/(s^(2) )\\ F=39.2 Newtons\\replace\\\\W=39.2 N*5m\\W=196\ Joules

Answer:196 Joules

I hope it helps
