A woman does 236 J of work
dragging her trash can 24.4 m to
the curb, using a force of 18.9 N.
At what angle was her force
directed?


Sagot :

Answer:

Explanation:

Step one:

Given data

work-done in dragging the trash= 236J

applied force= 18.9N

distance moved= 24.4m

Required

The angle of the applied force

Step two:

We know that work done is

WD= F * distance

The work is the product of the horizontal component of the force and the distance.

Horizontal force = 236 ÷ 24.4

= 9.67 N

Cos θ = Horizontal force ÷ Actual force

Cos θ = (236 ÷ 24.4) ÷ 18.9 = 236 ÷ 461.16

The angle is approximately 59˚
