a.
The work done by a constant force along a rectilinear motion when the force and the displacement vector are not colinear is given by:
where F is the magnitude of the force, theta is the angle between them and d is the distance.
The problen gives the following data:
The magnitude of the force 750 N.
The angle between the force and the displacement which is 25°
The distance, 26 m.
Plugging this in the formula we have:
Therefore the work done is 17673 J.
b)
The power is given by:
the problem states that the time it takes is 6 s. Then:
Therefore the power is 2945.5 W
