Answer:
W = 725 J
Step-by-step explanation:
given,
mass of wagon = 20 kg
distance of pull = 40 m
angle made with the horizontal = 25°
tension force on the wagon = 20 N
Work done = ?
Horizontal component of the force will help in movement of the wagon.
Horizontal component of force=
F_x = F cos θ
Work done is equal to force into displacement
W = F.s
W = F cos θ.s
W = 20 cos 25° x 40
W = 725 J
hence, work done on pulling the wagon is equal to W = 725 J
