  • \sf{work~done=811.89~J }

Step-by-step explanation:

Here,

Given that,

pulls a wagon a distance of 32 meters the handle is above an angle of 20 degrees above horizontal if you pull on it with a force of 27 N

To find,

  • The total work done

As we know that,


{\boxed{\sf{W=f.d.cos\theta }}}

According to the question,


W=27(32)cos{20}\\\\w=811.89J

Hi there!

When finding work (J) given force (N), we use the equation:

W = FdcosФ <-- Only take into account the force in the direction of motion

Plug in the given values:

W = 27(32)cos(20) = 811.89 J
