Let the distance traveled by the object in the second case be 
In the given problem, work done by the forces are same in both the cases.
Thus,
Correct answer is letter B. sandstone
Answer:
The load has a mass of 2636.8 kg
Explanation:
Step 1 : Data given
Mass of the truck = 7100 kg
Angle = 15°
velocity = 15m/s
Acceleration = 1.5 m/s²
Mass of truck = m1 kg
Mass of load = m2 kg
Thrust from engine = T
Step 2:
⇒ Before the load falls off, thrust (T) balances the component of total weight downhill:
T = (m1+m2)*g*sinθ
⇒ After the load falls off, thrust (T) remains the same but downhill component of weight becomes m1*gsinθ .
Resultant force on truck is F = T – m1*gsinθ
F causes the acceleration of the truck: F= m*a
This gives the equation:
T – m1*gsinθ = m1*a
T = m1(a + gsinθ)
Combining both equations gives:
(m1+m2)*g*sinθ = m1*(a + gsinθ)
m1*g*sinθ + m2*g*sinθ =m1*a + m1*g*sinθ
m2*g*sinθ = m1*a
Since m1+m2 = 7100kg, m1= 7100 – m2. This we can plug into the previous equation:
m2*g*sinθ = (7100 – m2)*a
m2*g*sinθ = 7100a – m2a
m2*gsinθ + m2*a = 7100a
m2* (gsinθ + a) = 7100a
m2 = 7100a/(gsinθ + a)
m2 = (7100 * 1.5) / (9.8sin(15°) + 1.5)
m2 = 2636.8 kg
The load has a mass of 2636.8 kg
