A sled is being pulled with a force of 120 N at an angle of 35o with the horizontal. How far is the sled pulled if 1100 J of work is done? (11.2 m)

Answer:11.2 m

Explanation:

Given

Force Applied
F=120 N

inclination
\theta =35^(\circ)

Force has two components here i.e.
F\cos \theta and
F\sin \theta


F\cos \theta will will do work

Work done is given by force time displacement


W=120\cdot \cos 35* s


1100=120* \cos 35* s


s=11.19\approx 11.2 m
