a force of 625 N is used to move an object with 1000N resistance up inclined plane of 2.0 m.What is the length of the inclined plane
To find the length of the inclined plane, we need to use the formula for work done against resistance on an inclined plane.
The formula is: Work = Force × Distance × cos(theta)
In this case, the force used to move the object is 625 N and the resistance is 1000 N. The distance is given as 2.0 m.
Let's rearrange the formula to solve for the length of the inclined plane (Distance):
Length of inclined plane = Work / (Force × cos(theta))
First, we need to calculate the work done against resistance. The work done against resistance is the product of the resistance force and the distance moved.
Work against resistance = Resistance force × distance
= 1000 N × 2.0 m
= 2000 N·m or 2000 J (Joules)
Next, we need to calculate the cosine of the angle of the inclined plane (theta). Since the angle is not given in the question, we will need additional information to determine its value.
Once we have the value of the angle, we can substitute all the values into the formula to find the length of the inclined plane.
