Question

A force of 600N is used to slide a sled across a floor 20 meters . The rope pulling the sled is held at 35 * . How much work does the force do?

Answer 1

Answer:

9830 J

Explanation:

(Just a tip, you should use the degree symbol ° instead of *)

That being said we know W = F*d*cos(θ). In this case θ = 35°.

W = F*d*cos(θ) = 600*20*cos(35)

                         = 12000*cos(35)

                         = 9829.925 Joules

Solution: Work ≈ 9830 J
