A 16.3 kg block is dragged over a rough, horizontal surface by a constant force of 157 N acting at an angle of 35 degree above the horizontal. Find the work done by the 157 N force.
W = F*d. How far was it dragged?
To find the work done by a force, we can use the formula:
Work = Force x Distance x cos(theta)
where:
- Work is the work done by the force (in joules, J)
- Force is the magnitude of the force (in newtons, N)
- Distance is the distance the object is moved (in meters, m)
- theta (θ) is the angle between the direction of the force and the direction of the displacement (in degrees)
In this case, the force acting on the block is 157 N with an angle of 35 degrees above the horizontal. So, we have:
Force = 157 N
theta = 35 degrees
Now, we need to know the distance the block is moved to calculate the work done by the force.
Could you please provide the distance the block is moved?
