What is the work done by a 20 newton force applied at an angle of 45.0° to move a box a horizontal distance of 40 meters?

8.0 × 102 joules
9.0 × 102 joules
5.6 × 102 joules
3.6 × 102 joules

Respuesta :

your answer would be B.

votre réponse serait B

Explanation :

Given that,

Force, F = 20 N

The force is applied at an angle of 45 degrees to move a box a horizontal distance of 40 meters. We have to find the work done by the force. It is given by :

W = F. d

[tex]W=Fd\ cos\theta[/tex]

[tex]W=20\ N\times 40/ m cos(45)[/tex]

W = 565.6 Joules

or

[tex]W=5.6\times 10^2\ Joules[/tex]

Hence, this is the required solution.
