A 25 newton force applied on an object moves it 50 meters. The angle between the force and displacement is 40.0°. What is the value of work being done on the object?
The total work done is 957.56 joules. This is calculated as work is equal to 25N time 50 meters time cosine 40 degrees.
Answer:
Work being done on the object = 766.04J
Explanation:
Work done by a force is calculated by finding dot product of force and displacement.
W = F . s
F = 25 N
s = 50 m
θ = 40.0°
W = F . s = Fs cosθ = 25 x 40 x cos 40 = 766.04J
Work being done on the object = 766.04J
