A person struggles very hard to lift a large boulder. He puts in so much effort, he starts to sweat, his heart rate increases, a

nd he gets really tired. All of his effort is for nothing, the boulder does not move at all. In this situation, has work been done? Explain!

No, he did not perform any work. Work is when you’re using energy which results in a force. Even though he was tired and sweaty, he did not move the boulder. So therefore he did not perform any work.

Pavel [41]

The conservation of energy always holds true even when not clearly observable in machines that are less than 100% efficient. More often than not a machine will suffer energy losses (e.g. consider for a cooling fan: friction between the rotating blades, drag resistance in the air the fan is pushing around, resistance in the wire, and heat radiating/conducting away from the circuitry).

One end of a steel rod of radius R = 10 mm and length L = 80cm is held in a vise. A force of magnitude F = 60kN is then applied
Alexandra [31]

Answer: 1.91*10^8 N/m²

Explanation:

Given

Radius of the steel, R = 10 mm = 0.01 m

Length of the steel, L = 80 cm = 0.8 m

Force applied on the steel, F = 60 kN

Stress on the rod, = ?

Area of the rod, A = πr²

A = 3.142 * 0.01²

A = 0.0003142

Stress = Force applied on the steel/Area of the steel

Stress = F/A

Stress = 60*10^3 / 0.0003142

Stress = 1.91*10^8 N/m²

From the calculations above, we can therefore say, the stress on the rod is 1.91*10^8 N/m²
