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
Answer:
424088766.068 m
Explanation:
Radius of the circular orbit that the satellite is 2.6 Earth radii (r) = 2.6 R
R = Radius of earth = 6371000 m (mean radius)
In order to find the distance that the satellite travels in 5.89 hours to complete one complete revolution is the circumference of the circular orbit
Circumference of a circle = 2×π×r
⇒Distance travelled in 5.89 hours = 2×π×2.6 R
⇒Distance travelled in 5.89 hours = 2×π×2.6×6371000
⇒Distance travelled in 5.89 hours = 104078451.3393m
Distance travelled in 1 hour = 104078451.3393/5.89 = 17670365.252 m
∴ Distance travelled in 24 hours = 17670365.252×24 = 424088766.068 m
Taking ratio of W & w. ≈ 6 . w = 1/6 W. Therefore , Weight of an object on the moon is 1/6 of its weight on the earth.
