A constant force of 45 N directed at angle θ to the horizontal pulls a crate of weight 100 N from one end of a room to another a

distance of 4 m. Given that the vertical component of the pulling force is 12 N, calculate the work done by the force in moving the crate.

Answer:

W=173.48J

Explanation:

information we know:

Total force: F=45N

Weight: w=100N

distance: 4m

vertical component of the force: F_{y}=12N

-------------

In this case we need the formulas to calculate the components of the force (because to calculate the work we need the horizontal component of the force).

horizontal component: F_{x}=Fcos\theta

vertical component: F_{y}=Fsen\theta

but from the given information we know that F_{y}=12N

so, equation these two F_{y}=Fsen\theta and F_{y}=12N

Fsen\theta =12N

and we know the force F=45N, thus:

45sen\theta=12

now we clear for \theta

sen\theta =12/45\\\theta=sin^{-1}(12/45)\\\theta =15.466

the angle to the horizontal is 15.466°, with this information we can calculate the horizontal component of the force:

F_{x}=Fcos\theta

F_{x}=45cos(15.466)\\F_{x}=43.37N

whith this horizontal component we calculate the work to move the crate a distance of 4 m:

W=F_{x}*D\\W=(43.37N)(4m)\\W=173.48J

the work done is W=173.48J

Viktor [21]
The velocities and the speed build a triangle, where the 1.7 m/s are the hypotenuse and the x-velocity and y-velocity are the other sides. 

<span>So the x-velocity is: speed*cos(angle) </span>

<span>now plug in </span>
<span>x=1.7 m/s * cos(18.5)=1.597 m/s </span>

When a guitar string plays the note "a," the string vibrates at 440 hz ?
Rama09 [41]
Yes, that's correct. The note "A" (which is used to tune the other strings of the guitar) corresponds to a frequency of 440 Hz.
