A person pushes horizontally on a heavy box and slides it across the level floor at constant velocity. The person pushes with a

60.0 N force for the first 7.09 m, at which time he begins to tire. The force he exerts then starts to decrease linearly from 60.0 N to 0.00 N across the remaining 7.09 m. How much total work did the person do on the box?

Answer:

W= 638.1 J

Explanation:

As we know that

Work done is the area of the force and displacement diagram.

W=∫F.dx

W=Work

F=force

dx=Elemental displacement

From the diagram ,area A

A= 60 x 7.09 + 1/2 x 60 x 7.09

A= 638.1 J

So the work W

W= 638.1 J
