Answer:

The formula to calculate the load Hari drags is:

Work = Force x Distance x cosine(angle)

Hari does 720 joules of work.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: the load mass (m) = 60 kg

12 m is the distance (d).

Angle () = 0 (horizontal displacement).

Work = Force x Distance x Cosine(angle)

Since the load is being pulled horizontally, the force applied is equal to the load's weight. The formula for calculating an object's weight is:

Weight = Mass x Gravitational Acceleration

The acceleration due to gravity in this situation is roughly 9.8 m/s2.

Weight = 6Filling in the blanks in the work formula:

588 N x 12 m x Cosine(0 degrees) = 588 N x 12 m x 1 = 720 joules

As a result, Hari does 720 joules of labour while dragging the weight.0 kg multiplied by 9.8 m/s2 = 588 N
