Answer:
Work done, W = 1786.17J
Explanation:
The question says "A 75.0-kg painter climbs a 2.75-m ladder that is leaning against a vertical wall. The ladder makes an angle of 30.0 ° with the wall. How much work (in Joules) does gravity do on the painter? "
Mass of a painter, m = 75 kg
He climbs 2.75-m ladder that is leaning against a vertical wall.
The ladder makes an angle of 30 degrees with the wall.
We need to find the work done by the gravity on the painter.
The angle between the weight of the painter and the displacement is :
θ = 180 - 30
= 150°
The work done by the gravity is given by :
Hence, the required work done is 1786.17 J.
