Question

A 360LB gorilla climbs a tree to a height of 20ft. Find the work done if the gorilla reaches that height in:

Answer 1

The problem ask to find the work done of the gorilla reaches that height of 20 ft in 10s and 5s if the gorilla has a mass of 360lb. So base on that data allow, you can solve the work by multiplying the force and the distance, and force is calculated by multiplying mass and acceleration and acceleration is calculated by velocity over time. So the answer would be that force is 7200 N

Answer 2

Answer:

For both options a and b the work done is 7200 ft lb.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A 360 LB gorilla climbs a tree to a height of 20 ft.

To Find : The work done if the gorilla reaches that height in a) 10 seconds b) 5 seconds ?

Solution :

Work done is defined as the change in the energy of the gorilla must equal the net work done by the gorilla in climbing.

We have given,

Weight = 360 LB and height = 20 ft.

The work done is defined as

$W=\int\limits^{20}_{0} {360} \, dx$

$W=[360x]^{20}_{0}$

$W=360(20)-360(0)$

$W=7200ft\ lb$

Therefore, For both options a and b the work done is 7200 ft lb.
