a) The work done by the gravitational force on the flat surface is zero
b) The work done by the gravitational force on the ramp is -634 J
c) The work done by the applied force on the flat surface is 500 J
d) The work done by the applied force on up along the ramp is 500 J
Explanation:
a)
The work done by a force is given by the equation
where
F is the magnitude of the force
d is the dispalcement of the object
is the angle between the direction of the force and of the displacement
In this problem, we want to calculate the work done by the gravitational force as the box is pushed across the flat ground.
We immediately notice that the gravitational force acts downward, while the displacement is horizontal: therefore, the angle between force and displacement is ; this means that
, and therefore, the work done is zero:
b)
In this case, the box is pushed along the ramp. We have:
is the magnitude of the force of gravity, where
m = 50.0 kg is the mass of the box
is the acceleration of gravity
d = 5.00 m is the displacement of the box along the ramp
The ramp is inclined to the horizontal by , therefore the angle between the force of gravity and the displacement of the box (moving up along the ramp) is:
Therefore, the work done by gravity in this case is:
c)
In this case, we want to calculate the work done by the force you apply as the box is pushed across the flat ground.
Here we have:
F = 100.0 N (force applied)
d = 5.00 m (displacement of the box)
(the force is applied parallel to the flat surface, therefore force and displacement have same direction)
Therefore, the work done by the force you apply on the flat ground is:
d)
In this last case, we want to calculate the work done by the force you apply as the box is pushed up along the ramp.
This time we have:
F = 100.0 N (force applied is the same)
d = 5.00 m (displacement of the box is also the same)
(the force is applied parallel to the ramp, therefore force and displacement have again same direction)
Therefore, the work done by the force you apply while pushing the box along the ramp is:
