An apple crate of 10 kg is laying on a floor force double the weight of the great is acting on the acting on it move it horizontally through a distance of 20 m calculate the work done
To calculate the work done in moving the apple crate, we can use the formula:
Work = Force x Distance
The weight of the apple crate is 10 kg, so the force acting on it is equal to its weight, which is 10 kg x 9.8 m/s^2 (acceleration due to gravity) = 98 N. (Assuming standard gravity)
The force double the weight of the crate acting on it is 2 times the weight, so it is 2 x 98 N = 196 N.
The distance covered by the crate is 20 m.
Therefore, the work done is:
Work = 196 N x 20 m = 3920 Nm = 3920 J (Joules)
So, the work done in moving the apple crate horizontally through a distance of 20 m is 3920 Joules.
