If W = Fd, which describes the conditions that make the work of moving this 10 kg mass the easiest on the mover?




A.
Moving the mass from Point C to B, although it involves a greater distance, requires less force to do the same amount of work.

B.
Moving the mass from Point A to B involves a shorter distance to do the same amount of work, even though it requires more force.

C.
Moving the mass from Point C to B, although it involves a greater distance, requires less force and less work.

D.
Moving the mass from Point A to B involves a shorter distance so less work is done, even though it requires more force.

Answer:

A. Moving the mass from Point C to B, although it involves a greater distance, requires less force to do the same amount of work.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of work will be the same either way. By going from C to B, the mover will exert less force over a greater distance, which is easier than exerting a greater force over a shorter distance.
