Question

You push an object 0.032 m by exerting 0.010 N in force. The work is the force times the distance. How much work have you done expressed in ergs?
A. 3200 ergs
B. 0.00032 ergs
C. 0.32 ergs
D. 32 ergs

Answer 1

The answer is B.) 0.00032

Answer 2

Answer:

Work done, W = 3200 ergs

Explanation:

It is given that

Force acting on the object, F = 0.01 N

Distance covered by the object, d = 0.032 m

Let W is the work done by the object. The product of force and the distance is called the work done by the object. Mathematically, it is given by :

$W=F\times d$

$W=0.01\ N\times 0.032\ m$    

W = 0.00032 Joules

Since, $1\ joule=10^7\ ergs$

This gives, work done by the object, W = 3200 ergs. So, the correct option is (a).
