Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one:
Given data
work-done in dragging the trash= 236J
applied force= 18.9N
distance moved= 24.4m
Required
The angle of the applied force
Step two:
We know that work done is
WD= F * distance
The work is the product of the horizontal component of the force and the distance.
Horizontal force = 236 ÷ 24.4
= 9.67 N
Cos θ = Horizontal force ÷ Actual force
Cos θ = (236 ÷ 24.4) ÷ 18.9 = 236 ÷ 461.16
The angle is approximately 59˚
