Question

A force of 120 N is applied to the front of a sledge at an angle of 28.00 above the horizontal so as to pull the sledge a distance of 165 meters. How much work was done by the applied force?

Answer 1

Workdone = 17482.36 Joules

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Force, F = 120 N

Angle, d = 28.0°

Distance, x = 165 m

To find the work done, we would use the following formula;

Workdone = FxCosd

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Workdone = 120*165*Cos(28)

Workdone = 19800 * 0.8830

Workdone = 17482.36 Joules
