Answer:

40.3 ft-lbs

Explanation:

Work = Force•Distance = (Force)(Distance)(cosΘ)

Note what you know and/or don't know. In this case:

Force = 8lbs

Distance = 7ft

Θ = 44°

So with that and the formula of work above, we can say:

Work = (8lbs)(7ft)(cos44°) = 40.28...ft-lbs

When rounded you have 40.3 ft-lbs of work done by the force.

Side note: Just to be clear, the formula Force•Distance is said as Force "dot" Distance. It's a dot product and not just a multiplication sign; which is why the angle is important to know.

Force×Distance is said as Force "cross" Distance, which relates to a different kind of force and has a slightly different formula.

a man hits a golf ball (0.2kg) which accelerates at a rate of 20 m/s what amount of force acted on the ball
MAVERICK [17]

The ball only accelerates during the brief time that the club is in contact
with it. After it leaves the club face, it takes off at a constant speed.

If it accelerates at 20 m/s² during the hit, then

   Force = (mass) x (acceleration) = (0.2kg) x (20 m/s²) = <em>4 newtons</em> .
