A man weighing 180 lbf pushes a block weighing 100 lbf along a horizontal plane. the dynamic coefficient of friction between the
block and plane is 0.2. assuming that the block moves at a constant speed, how much work is required to move the block 100 ft considering the (a) the block and (b) the man as the system.
The first thing you should know is that the work is defined as: W = F * d Where F = force d = displacement We have then (a) the block F = (0.2) * (100) = 20 d = 100 W = (20) * (100) = 2000 ft.lbf (b) the man as the system. F = (0.2) * (100 + 180) = 56 d = 100 W = (56) * (100) = 5600 ft.lbf answer: (a) 2000 ft.lbf (b) 5600 ft.lbf
Smoking can cause lung disease by damaging your airways and the small air sacs (alveoli) found in your lungs. Lung diseases caused by smoking include COPD, which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Cigarette smoking causes most cases of lung cancer.
