Question

A 40.0 -kg box initially at rest is pushed 5.00 m along a rough, horizontal floor with a constant applied horizontal force of 130N . The coefficient of friction between box and floor is 0.300 . Find(d) the work done by the gravitational force..

Answer 1

The work done by the gravitational force = 0

Given the mass of the box = 40 kg

The box is initially at rest.

Distance moved by the applied force = 5m

Force applied = 130 N

Co-efficient of friction between the box and floor = 0.3

The box is moved only in the horizontal direction by the applied force.

Gravitational force is applied in a direction perpendicular to the applied force. hence it doesn't do any work on the box.

Therefore, the work done by the gravitational force is zero.
