What is the work done if a Boulder of mass 100 kilogram is rolled 40 meter up slope an angle of 20 degrees assuming the force of friction is negligible​

Respuesta :

Answer:

The work done is 13680.8 J.

Explanation:

The work done can be calculated as follows:

[tex] W = F*d [/tex]              

Where:            

F: is the force                                                        

d: is the displacement = 40 m                                    

The force acting on the boulder is given by:

[tex] F = mgsin(\theta) [/tex]

Where:

m: is the mass = 100 kg

g: is the acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²

θ: is the angle = 20°      

Then, the work is:

[tex] W = mgsin(\theta)d = 100 kg*10 m/s^{2}*sin(20)*40 m = 13680.8 J [/tex]

Therefore, the work done is 13680.8 J.  

I hope it helps you!
