Answer:
a) W_total = 8240 J
, b) W₁ / W₂ = 1.1
Explanation:
In this exercise you are asked to calculate the work that is defined by
W = F. dy
As the container is rising and the force is vertical the scalar product is reduced to the algebraic product.
W = F dy = F Δy
let's apply this formula to our case
a) Let's use Newton's second law to calculate the force in the first y = 5 m
F - W = m a
W = mg
F = m (a + g)
F = 80 (1 + 9.8)
F = 864 N
The work of this force we will call it W1
We look for the force for the final 5 m, since the speed is constant the force must be equal to the weight (a = 0)
F₂ - W = 0
F₂ = W
F₂ = 80 9.8
F₂ = 784 N
The work of this fura we will call them W2
The total work is
W_total = W₁ + W₂
W_total = (F + F₂) y
W_total = (864 + 784) 5
W_total = 8240 J
b) To find the relationship between work with relate (W1) and work with constant speed (W2), let's use
W₁ / W₂ = F y / F₂ y
W₁ / W₂ = 864/784
W₁ / W₂ = 1.1
