Question

What is the force required to move a block of mass 150 pound by a distance of 5ft in 8 seconds?

Answer 1

Force required to move a block is 1.615 N

Given:

mass of block = m = 150 pounds = 68 kg

distance = d = 5 ft = 1.52 metres

time = t = 8 sec

To Find:

force required to move the block

Solution: Force is defined as product of mass and acceleration and it's unit is N or Newton.

Velocity = displacement/ time = 1.52 / 8 = 0.19 m/s

Acceleration = velocity/time = 0.19/8 =

0.023 m/s^2

Force = mass x acceleration = 68x0.023 = 1.615 N

Hence, force required to move the block is 1.615 N
