Answer:
<em>-6,329.5Joules</em>
<em></em>
Explanation:
Complete question:
Sally applies a horizontal force of 462N with a rope to drag a wooden crate across a floor with a constant speed the rope tied to the crate is pulled at an angle of 56.0degree and sally moves the crate 24.5m. What work is done by the floor through the force of friction between the floor and crate.
Work done = Fd cos theta
F is the horizontal force
d is the distance covered
theta angle of inclination
Substituting into the formula
Workdone = 462(24.5)cos 56
Workdone = 11,319(0.5592)
Workdone = 6,329.5Joules
Hence the workdone by sally is 6,329.5Joules
<em>The work done by friction will be opposite the work done by sally, hence work done by the floor through force of friction between the floor and the crate is -6,329.5Joules</em>
