Question

Two students try to move a heavy box. One pushes with the force of the 20N while the other pulls with a force of 30N in the same direction. What is the work done by each boy after 10 seconds if the box can\t be moved? Show your equation.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Time is not part of the Work equation. That's the only conclusion that you can come to.

Work = Force * distance.

Not enough information is given to go any further. You don't have enough information to calculate the distance.

We don't know if the box can be moved or not. It says heavy. 50 N is really not very much.

I would guess that you are intended to answer that the box didn't move, but it's really hard to tell.
