Given data:
* The mass of the book is 2 kg.
* The initial height of the book is 0.78 m.
* The final height of the book is 2.1 m.
Solution:
(A). The work done by the gravity on the book is,
where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, h_i is the initial height and h_f is the final height,
The work is done in moving the object in upward direction where as the gravitational force is acting in the down ward direction. Thus, the value g (acceleration due to gravity) is taken as negative in this case.
Substituting the known values,
Thus, the work done by the gravitational force is -25.9 J.
(B). The work done by the hand on the moving the book is,
Thus, the work done by the hand on the book is 25.9 J.
Answer:
An <u>applied force</u> is a force that is applied to an object by a person or another object. If a person is pushing a desk across the room, then there is an applied force acting upon the object. The applied force is the force exerted on the desk by the person.
A <u>friction force</u> is the force exerted by a surface as an object moves across it or makes an effort to move across it. There are at least two types of friction force - sliding and static friction. Though it is not always the case, the friction force often opposes the motion of an object. For example, if a book slides across the surface of a desk, then the desk exerts a friction force in the opposite direction of its motion. Friction results from the two surfaces being pressed together closely, causing intermolecular attractive forces between molecules of different surfaces. As such, friction depends upon the nature of the two surfaces and upon the degree to which they are pressed together. The maximum amount of friction force that a surface can exert upon an object can be calculated using the formula below:
