Question

Calculate the work done by an \(\text { 85.0-kg }\) man who pushes a crate \(4.00 \mathrm{~m}\) up along a ramp that makes an angle of \(20.0^{\circ}\) with the horizontal. (See Figure \(7.35\).) He exerts a force of \(500 N\) on the crate parallel to the ramp and moves at a constant speed. Be certain to include the work he does on the crate and on his body to get up the ramp.

Figure \(7.35\) A man pushes a crate up a ramp.

Solution

Solution

Step 1

We have to calculate the work done that includes the work on the crate on his body to get up the ramp.Given mass of a man is 85 kg, displacement along a ramp is 4m

To find the work done along a ramp is we use
