The normal force n with arrow, the gravitational force mg with arrow, and the upward component of the applied force do no work on the sled because they're perpendicular to the displacement. The mass of the sled didn't come into play here, but it is important when the effects of friction must be calculated and in the work-energy theorem. QUESTION How does the answer for the work done by the applied force change if the load is doubled

Answer and Explanation:

  • Should let force applied throughout horizontal direction become "F", as well as the displacement of that same sled, become "d." This same force's work seems to be "Fd."
  • Presently, unless the mass would be doubled as well as the force is applied continues to remain the very same, the work used by the force to keep moving the sled by such the distance "d" would then remain the same.

So that the above seems to be the right answer.
