5.Work, Energy, Power and Collision
normal
How much work does a pulling force of $40\, N$ do on the $20\, kg$ box in pulling it $8\, m$ across the smooth floor at a constant speed. The pulling force is directed at $60^o$ above the horizontal .............. $\mathrm{J}$
A
$160$
B
$277$
C
$784$
D
None of the above
Solution
$\mathrm{W}=\mathrm{F} \cdot \mathrm{S} \cdot \cos \theta$
$=40 \times 8 \times \cos 60^{\circ}=40 \times 8 \times \frac{1}{2}$
$=160 \mathrm{J}$
