Question

You have just moved into a new apartment and are trying to arrange your bedroom. You would like to move your dresser of weight 3,500 N across the carpet to a spot 5 m away on the opposite wall. Hoping to just slide your dresser easily across the floor, you do not empty your clothes out of the drawers before trying to move it. You push with all your might but cannot move the dresser before becoming completely exhausted. How much work do you do on the dresser? You have just moved into a new apartment and are trying to arrange your bedroom. You would like to move your dresser of weight 3,500 across the carpet to a spot 5 away on the opposite wall. Hoping to just slide your dresser easily across the floor, you do not empty your clothes out of the drawers before trying to move it. You push with all your might but cannot move the dresser before becoming completely exhausted. How much work do you do on the dresser? W>1.75×104J W=1.75×104J 1.75×104J>W>0J W=0J

Answer 1

W = 0J

Step-by-step explanation:

The work done by the dresser is described as

W = f d (cos θ)

F has been given as the weight of this dresser. And it is 3500 N

d = 0 m

When you put these values into the equation

W = 3500 x 0 x cosθ

W = 0 J

This value tells us that the work done on this dresser is zero. No work has been done. Therefore the last option answers the question.
