Question
Work A heavy object is pulled 30 feet across a floor, using a force of 100 pounds. The force is exerted at an angle of above the horizontal (see figure). Find the work done. (Use the formula for work, where is the component of the force in the direction of motion and is the distance.)
Solution
The first step in solving 6.3 problem number 99 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Work A heavy object is pulled 30 feet across a floor, using a force of 100 pounds. The force is exerted at an angle of above the horizontal (see figure). Find the work done. (Use the formula for work, where is the component of the force in the direction of motion and is the distance.)
