Question

While pushing a wagon around the park steve applies a force of 100n along thd handlr which makes 32cangle with the ground if he pushes it 25 metree how much wrk dods he fo

Answer 1

Workdone = 2120 Joules.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Force applied = 100N

Angle = 32°

Distance = 25m

To find the workdone by Steve, we would first of all find the horizontal component of the force applied.

`Horizontal force, Fx = mgCosd`

Where;

Fx represents the horizontal force.

m is the mass of an object.

g is the acceleration due to gravity.

d is the angle of inclination (theta).

mg = weight = 100N

Substituting into the equation, we have;

`Fx = 100 * Cos32`

`Fx = 100 * 0.8480`

Fx = 84.80N

Workdone is given by the formula;

`Workdone = force * distance`

Substituting into the equation, we have;

`Workdone = 84.80 * 25`

Workdone = 2120 Joules.
