Question

Un pintor de 75.0 kg sube por una escalera de 2.75 m que está inclinada contra una pared vertical. La escalera forma un ángulo de 30.0° con la pared. ¿Cuánto trabajo (en Julios) realiza la gravedad sobre el pintor? *

Answer 1

Answer:

Work done, W = 1786.17J

Explanation:

The question says "A 75.0-kg painter climbs a 2.75-m ladder that is leaning against a vertical wall. The ladder makes an angle of 30.0 ° with the wall. How much work (in Joules) does gravity do on the painter? "

Mass of a painter, m = 75 kg

He climbs 2.75-m ladder that is leaning against a vertical wall.

The ladder makes an angle of 30 degrees with the wall.

We need to find the work done by the gravity on the painter.

The angle between the weight of the painter and the displacement is :

θ = 180 - 30

= 150°

The work done by the gravity is given by :

$W=Fd\cos\theta\\\\=75\times 10\times 2.75\times \cos30\\\\=1786.17\ J$

Hence, the required work done is 1786.17 J.
