Question

Solve the following problems with complete solutions.

  1. A weight lifter lifts a set of weights a vertical distance of 2.00 m. If a constant force of 350 N is exerted on the weights, what is the network done on the weights?

Example is attached below. Please refer to it.

Wtotal = (Frotal Cos 0)d = Frotald cos 0
Еxample:
How much work is done on a vacuum cleaner pulled 3.0 meter by a force of
50.0 Newton at an angle of 30.0° above the horizontal?
Given:
F = 50.0 N
D = 3.0 m
Ø = 30.0°
W =?
Using the equation:
W = Fxd x cos Ø
W = (50.0 N) (3.0 m) (cos 30.0°)
W = 130 J
