Answer:
The vertical distance of weight 3.0 N = 4 m, vertical distance of weight 4.0 N = 3 m, vertical distance of weight 6.0 N = 2 m, vertical distance of weight 2.0 N = 6 m
Explanation:
Worked : work can be defined as the product of force and distance.
The S.I unit of work is Joules (J).
Mathematically it can be represented as,
W = F×d.................. Equation 1
d = W/F.............................. Equation 2
where W = work, F = force, d = distance.
<em>Given: W = 12 J</em>
(i) for the 3.0 N weight,
using equation 2
d = 12/3
d= 4 m.
(ii) for the 4.0 N weight,
d = 12/4
d = 3 m.
(iii) for the 6.0 N weight,
d = 12/6
d = 2 m.
(iv) for the 2.0 N weight,
d = 12/2
d = 6 m
Therefore vertical distance of weight 3.0 N = 4 m, vertical distance of weight 4.0 N = 3 m, vertical distance of weight 6.0 N = 2 m, vertical distance of weight 2.0 N = 6 m
