Kraig pulls a box to the right at an angle of 40 degrees to the horizontal with a force of 30 Newtons. If Kraig pulls the box a distance of 20 meters, determine the work done by Kraig.

Respuesta :

Answer:

459.6J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Angle of pull  = 40°

Force applied  = 30N

Distance moved = 20m

Unknown:

Work done by Kraig  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem;

   Work done  = F x dcosФ

d is the distance

F is the force

Ф is the angle given

  Work done  = 30 x 20cos40°   = 459.6J
