Question

A boy pulls with a 92.5 N force on the handle of a 27.5 kg wagon while the handle makes an angle of 35.0 degrees with the horizontal. If friction is negligible, and the boy pulls a total distance of 215.6 m, how much work has the boy done

Answer 1

Answer:

$W_b \approx 16336J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Force of pull $F= 92.5$

Weight of handle $W_h=27.5 kg$

Angle of handle $\angle =35.0$

Distance $d=215.6 m$

Generally the work done by the boy can mathematically be represented as

$W_b=F*dcos \theta$

$W_b=92.5*27.5 *cos(35)$

Therefore

$W_b=16336.34922J$

$W_b \approx 16336J$
