A crate is pulled 7 m across a smooth surface. The tension in the rope pulling the crate is 40 N. If the work on the crate is 247 J, what is the angle the rope makes with the horizontal

Answer:

61.9°

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the workdone is expressed as

Workdone = Fdsin theta

F is the force applied on the crate

d is the distance covered

theta is the angle that the rope makes with the horizontal

Given

F = 40N

d = 7m

Workdone = 247J

Substituting into the formula:

247 = 40(7)sin theta

247 = 280sin theta

sin theta = 247/280

sin theta = 0.88214

theta = arcsin(0.88214)

theta = 61.9°

Hence the angle that the rope makes with the horizontal is 61.9°
