Answer:
The answer is 13 however make sure if they ask for a certain measurement like meter answer it by saying 13 meters.
Explanation:
This basically turns into basic algebra if you know the formula for work. The formula for work is W=F*d
Here are the variables that you know 650J=50N*d so you need d.
All you do is divide 650J by 50N and you get a total of 13 (meters since I don't know what they want you to put it in).
Answer:
For the first one its about 25 feet
Explanation:
There are some missing data in the text of the problem. I've found them online:
a) coefficient of friction dry steel piston - steel cilinder: 0.3
b) coefficient of friction with oil in between the surfaces: 0.03
Solution:
a) The force F applied by the person (300 N) must be at least equal to the frictional force, given by:

where

is the coefficient of friction, while N is the normal force. So we have:

since we know that F=300 N and

, we can find N, the magnitude of the normal force:

b) The problem is identical to that of the first part; however, this time the coefficienct of friction is

due to the presence of the oil. Therefore, we have:
