The correct answer to the question is C) 400 J.
CALCULATION:
As per the question, the force applied on the block F = 40 N.
The distance travelled by the block S = 10 m.
We are asked to calculate the work done by the block.
The work done by a body under a force F is calculated as -
Work done W =
=
Here, is the angle between force and displacement.
If , then work done W =
= FS. [ cos0 = 1]
Hence, the work done by the block W = FS
= 40 N × 10 m
= 400 Joule. [ans]
Here, Joule is the unit of work.
Hence, the work done by the block s 400 Joule.
Work done on the crate is 1411.2 J
Explanation:
Work done is defined as the product of force and the distance moved by the object. The unit of work done is in joules and denoted by the symbol J.
Work done = F * d
where F represents the force and d represents the distance moved by the object.
mass = 72 kg , distance moved by the object is given by 2.0 m
Force F = mass * gravity = 72 * 9.8
= 705.6 N =706 N.
Work done = 706 * 2.0 = 1412 J.
