A 5-lb. force acting in the direction of moves an object just over 12 ft. from point to . Find the work done to move the object to the nearest foot-pound. (1 point) Responses 11 ft.·lbs. 11 ft.·lbs. 34 ft.·lbs. 34 ft.·lbs. 56 ft.·lbs. 56 ft.·lbs. 61 ft.·lbs.
To solve this problem, we use the formula for work:
Work = Force × Distance × cos(θ)
Given that the force is 5 lbs and the distance is just over 12 ft, and assuming that the angle (θ) between the force and the direction of motion is 0 degrees (cos(0) = 1), we can calculate the work done:
Work = 5 lbs × 12 ft = 60 ft-lbs
Rounded to the nearest foot-pound, the work done is 61 ft-lbs. So the correct response is:
61 ft.·lbs.
