The first thing you should know for this case is that work is defined as the product of force by the distance traveled in the direction of force.
 We have then:
 W = Fd
 The distance varies, so we must integrate:
 from 0 to 20:
 W = ∫F (x) dx
 W = ∫32xdx
 W = 32∫xdx
 W = 32 (x ^ 2/2) = (16) (20 ^ 2) = 6400 ft * lbs
 answer:
 6400 ft * lbs is work done pulling the rope up 20 ft

A person on a ferry boat walks from one side of the ferry to the other. Their velocity is 1.5m/s[W] relative to the ferry. The f
Fittoniya [83]

The person's velocity relative to the shore is determined as 6.5 m/s.

<h3>Velocity of the person</h3>

The velocity of the person is calculated as follows;

V(p/f) = V(p) - V(f)

where;

  • V(p/f) is the velocity of the person relative to the ferry
  • V(p) is the velocity of the person
  • V(f) is velocity of the ferry

1.5 = V(p) - 5

V(p) = 6.5 m/s

Thus, the person's velocity relative to the shore is determined as 6.5 m/s.
