We want to find the work done and power exerted, let’s start with work first.
We know that the equation for work is: W = F * D. We need to find the force which we can find by using: F = M * A.
Mass: 300kg
Acceleration (using equation from photo): 1.25 m/s^2
(The equation says x but can be used with y values)
If you are confused about how I found the acceleration; I plugged in 2.5 for the final y value, 0 for the initial y value, 0 for the initial velocity and 4 for t squared.
To solve, for acceleration it’s a matter of simple algebra. You can subtract the initial y position and the initial velocity from the final y position because they are 0. This leaves you with 2.5 m = 1/2a * t^2, from here I multiplied 2.5 by 2 to get rid of the 1/2. Now I have 5 = a * t^2. T^2 is just 2 squared, so four. Simply divide 5 by 4, and boom, you get 1.25 m/s^2.
Force = 300 kg * 1.25 m/s^2 = 375 Newtons
So, work = 500 N * 2.5 m = 1000 Joules
Power: W/t
So, Power = 1000 J / 2 seconds = 500 Watts
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Part a)

Part B)

Explanation:
As we know that when both the forces are acting on the object in same direction then we will have

as we know that

m = 10.6 kg
now we will have


Now two forces are in opposite direction then we have


Part A)
Now we will have from above two equation

Part B)
Similarly for other force we have
