Question

a mover uses a ramp to pull a 1000 n cart upto the floor .8 meters high. If it takes a force of 200 newtons to pull the cart, what is the length of the ramp?

Answer 1

4 meters.

Explanation:

We have been given that a mover uses a ramp to pull a 1000 n cart up-to the floor 0.8 meters high. It takes a force of 200 newtons to pull the cart. We are asked to find the length of the ramp.

We will use following formula to answer our given problem.

`\text{Force}* \text{Ramp length}= \text{Weight}*\text{Height}`

`200\text{N}* \text{Ramp length}=1000\text{N}* 0.8\text{m}`

`200\text{N}* \text{Ramp length}=800\text{Nm}`

`\text{Ramp length}=\frac{800\text{Nm}}{200\text{N}}`

`\text{Ramp length}=4\text{m}`

Therefore, the length of the ramp would be 4 meters.
