Answer:
42 °
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Force (F) = 45 N
Workdone (Wd) = 50 J
Distance (d) = 1.5 m
Angle (θ) =.?
Angle at which the box is pulled can be obtained as:
Wd = Fd × Cos θ
50 = 45 × 1.5 × Cos θ
50 = 67.5 × Cos θ
Divide both side by 67.5
Cos θ = 50 / 67.5
Cos θ = 0.7407
Take the inverse of Cos
θ = Cos¯¹ 0.7407
θ = 42.2 ≈ 42 °
Thus, the angle at which the box is pulled is approximately 42 °.
