Question

How to solve number 10

Answer 1

The 'formulas' to use are just the definitions of 'power' and 'work':

Power = (work done) / (time to do the work)

and  

Work = (force) x (distance) .

Combine these into one. Take the definition of 'Work', and write it in place of 'work' in the definition of power.

Power = (force x distance) / (time)

From the sheet, we know the power, the distance, and the time.  So we can use this one formula to find the force.

Power = (force x distance) / (time)

Multiply each side by (time):  (Power) x (time) = (force) x (distance)

Divide each side by (distance): Force = (power x time) / (distance).

Look how neat, clean, and simple that is !

Force = (13.3 watts) x (3 seconds) / (4 meters)

Force = (13.3 x 3 / 4) (watt-seconds / meter)

Force = 39.9/4 (joules/meter)

Force = 9.975 Newtons

Is that awesome or what !
