Question

A box with weight of magnitude F_G = 2.00 N is lowered by a rope down a smooth plane that is inclined at an angle φ = 30.0 degrees about ve the horizontal. The normal force acting on the box has a magnitude n = 1.73 N, the tension force is 1.00 N, and the displacement Δr of the box is 1.80 m down the cloned plane.
What is the work W_G done on the box by the gravity?

Answer 1

Answer:

1.8 J

Explanation:

I had this exact question today and found someone who had solved it before, this was their response to the work done by gravity. They used the name "physicsmom"

Vertical distance = 1.8 sin 30 = .9 m

W = 2 N * .9 m = 1.8J

Good luck! I hope this helps!
