P=W/t
P=Power
W=Work
t=Time
Convert 16 minutes in seconds:
16 mins = 960 secs
P=6720/960=7.23 W [Watt]
Let, 1st force = a
2nd force = b
A.T.Q,
a+b = 10
a-b = 6
Calculate for a & b, you'll get a=8 & b= 2
After increasing by 3, it'll be a = 8+3 = 11 & b=2+3 = 5
Resultant force at 90 degree angle = 11+5 = 16 Newtons
<h3>
Answer:</h3>
49 N
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
<u>We are given;</u>
- Mass of the brick as 3 kg
- The coefficient of friction as 0.6
We are required to determine the force that must be applied by the woman so the brick does not fall.
- We need to importantly note that;
- For the brick not to fall the, the force due to gravity is equal to the friction force acting on the brick.
- That is; Friction force = Mg
But; Friction force = μ F
Therefore;
μ F = mg
0.6 F = 3 × 9.8
0.6 F = 29.4
F = 49 N
Therefore, she must use a force of 49 N
In Physics, 'work' has a very clear definition:
It's (strength of a force) times (distance through which the force acts).
'Work' has the units of Energy.
If you push against a shopping cart with 30 newtons of force, and
you keep pushing while the cart moves 4 meters, then you have
done (30 x 4) = 120 newton-meters of work = 120 "Joules".
