Given data:
* The mass of the book is 2 kg.
* The initial height of the book is 0.78 m.
* The final height of the book is 2.1 m.
Solution:
(A). The work done by the gravity on the book is,
where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, h_i is the initial height and h_f is the final height,
The work is done in moving the object in upward direction where as the gravitational force is acting in the down ward direction. Thus, the value g (acceleration due to gravity) is taken as negative in this case.
Substituting the known values,
Thus, the work done by the gravitational force is -25.9 J.
(B). The work done by the hand on the moving the book is,
Thus, the work done by the hand on the book is 25.9 J.
Answer:
a) the magnitude of r is 184.62
b) the direction is 37.74° south of the negative x-axis
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
as illustrated in the image blow;
To find the the magnitude of r, we will use the Pythagoras theorem
r² = y² + x²
r = √( y² + x²)
we substitute
r = √((-113)² + (-146)²)
r = √(12769 + 21316 )
r = √(34085 )
r = 184.62
Therefore, the magnitude of r is 184.62
To find its direction, we need to find ∅
from SOH CAH TOA
tan = opposite / adjacent
tan∅ = -113 / -146
tan∅ = 0.77397
∅ = tan⁻¹( 0.77397 )
∅ = 37.74°
Therefore, the direction is 37.74° south of the negative x-axis
