Question

A farmhand pushes a 26-kg bale of hay 3.9 m across the floor of a barn. If she exerts a horizontal force of 88 N on the hay, how much work has she done

Answer 1

W = 343.2 J

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Mass of bale of hay = 26 kg

Horizontal force exerted = 88 N

Distance moved, d = 3.9 m

Work done, W = Fd

Put all the values,

W = 88 N × 3.9 m

= 343.2 J

So, the work done is 343.2 J.
