Question

A rope is used to pull a box 15.0 m across a floor. The rope is held at an angle of 46.0˚ and a force of 628 N is used along the rope. What is the work done? Your answer should be rounded to the tenths place, and include the correct units. View question

Answer 1

6544.07 J

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Distance (d) = 15 m

Force (F) = 628 N

Angle (θ) = 46°

Workdone (Wd) =?

The work done can be obtained by using the following formula:

Wd = Fd × Cos θ

Wd = 628 × 15 × Cos 46

Wd = 9420 × 0.6947

Wd = 6544.07 J

Therefore, the workdone is 6544.07 J
