A tow truck pulls a wrecked car down the road. The cable pulling the car makes an angle of 40° above the road. If the tension on the
tow truck's cable is 1900 newtons, how much work is done by the truck on the car pulling it 2.5 kilometers down the road?

The angle is:40 and we have 1900 Newton's so

1. 1900/40 = 47.5

2.47.5 × 2.5= 118.25

and so the answer is 118.25N

N stands for Newtons

:D
