A force of 50 N acts on a body and moves it a distance of 4 m on a horizontal surface. Calculate the work done if the direction of force is at an angle 60 o to the horizontal surface.

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Given,

Force, F = 50N,

Displacement, s = 4m,

Θ = 600

Work done = FS Cos θ

= 50 × 4 × Cos 60°

= 100 J [As Cos 60° = 1/2]

A force of 50 N acts on a body and moves it a distance of 4 m on a horizontal surface. Calculate the work done if the direction of force is at an angle 60o to the horizontal surface.

A force of 50 N acts on a body and moves it a distance of 4 m on a horizontal surface. Calculate the work done if the direction of force is at an angle 60^o to the horizontal surface.
