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

lana [24]

Answer:

negative force

Explanation:

Here woman is applying the force to stop the child or to prevent him from running.

Here we know that the force applied by the woman is opposite to the motion of child but here the child is not displaced by this applied force but the child is only prevented his running.

So here the work done by the woman is zero as there is no displacement by this force.

But here we can say that the the force of woman is against the motion of child so here this force is opposite force and hence it is termed as negative force here.

so correct answer will be

negative force

Name the forces acting on a plastic bucket container water held above ground level in your hand. Discuss why the forces acting o
SashulF [63]

There are two forces at play:

  • The gravitational force acting downward due to the mass of the bucket and the water that it contains.
  • The upward force that your hand exerts on the bucket.

If the magnitude of the force your hand exerts on the bucket equals the magnitude of the gravitational force, the bucket is in static equilibrium. That means the bucket is not moving and the forces acting on it balance each other out, making the net force 0.

Having 0 net force means the bucket doesn't undergo any acceleration, or change in motion.
