5) You pull a 10.0 kg wagon along a flat road. You exert a force of 80.0 N at an angle of 30.0 degrees above the horizontal whil
1 answer:
Consult the attached free body diagram. The only forces doing work on the wagon are the frictional force opposing the wagon's motion and the horizontal component of the applied force.
By Newton's second law, the net vertical force is
• ∑ F [v] = n + (80.0 N) sin(30.0°) - mg = 0
where a is the acceleration of the wagon.
Solve for n (the magnitude of the normal force) :
n = (10.0 kg) g - (80.0 N) sin(30.0°) = 58.0 N
Then
f = 0.500 (58.0 N) = 29.0 N
Meanwhile, the horizontal component of the applied force has magnitude
(80.0 N) cos(30.0°) ≈ 69.3 N
Now calculate the work done by either force.
• friction: -(29.0 N) (10.0 m) = -290. J
• pull: (69.3 N) (10.0 m) = 693 J

Answer:
Work done in both the cases will be same
Explanation:
As we know that the work done against gravity is given as
here we know that gravitational force is a conservative force and the work done against gravitational force is independent of the path
So here the work done by person to move the object between two different heights will be independent of the path they choose
So for the first person and second person will be same in both the cases because the height through which the boxes are transferred will be same in both the cases
