A box moves 10 m horizontally when force F = 20 N is applied at an angle θ=30° degrees. What is the work done on the box by force F during the displacement?

Given that,

Distance moved by the box, d = 10 m

Force applies, F = 20 N

It is applied at an angle of 30 degrees.

To find,

The work done on the box by the force F during the displacement.

Solution,

The work done by an object is given by the formula as follows :


W=Fd\cos\theta\\\\W=20* 10\cos(30)\\\\W=173.20\ J

So, the required work done on the box by the force is 173.20 J.
