Answer:
Mr Myers and his son use the same force to pull the bags between the gates
Explanation:
The work done by Mr. Myers in pulling the carryon bags = The work done by his 13 year old grandson in pulling the identical bag
Let F₁ represent the force used by Mr Myers, and let F₂ represent the force F₂ used by his grandson
Let d represent the distance through the gate
Therefore, given that Work done, W = Force, F × Distance, we have;
The work done by Mr Myers between the gates, W₁ = F₁ × d
The work done by his grandson between the gates, W₂ = F₂ × d
Where, the work done by both Mr Myers and his grandson are equal, we have;
W₁ = W₂ and therefore, F₁ × d = F₂ × d, which gives;
F₁ = F₂, the force used by both Mr Myers and his son between the gates are equal.
