Statement:
Mateo moved the teacher's table with 50 N of force for 2 meters.
To find out:
The work done in pushing the table.
Solution:
- Force (F) = 20 N
- Displacement (s) = 2 m
- Angle between displacement and force (θ) = 0
- We know, work is said to be done when force acting on a body produces motion in the direction of force applied.
- And the formula for work done is
- F s Cos(θ)
- Therefore, the work done in pushing the table
- = 50 × 2 × Cos (0°) J
- = 100 × 1 J
- = 100 J
Answer:
The work done in pushing the table is 100 J.
