Question

How much work does it take to slide a box 37 meters along the ground by pulling it with a 217 N force at an angle of 19° from the horizontal?

Answer 1

W = 7591.56 J

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

distance of the box, d = 37 m

Force for pulling the box, F = 217 N

angle of inclination with horizontal,θ = 19°

We know,

Work done is equal to product of force and the displacement.

W = F.d cos θ

W = 217 x 37 x cos 19°

W = 7591.56 J

Hence, the work done to pull the box is equal to W = 7591.56 J
