Chapter 11 Problem 12E

Question

The three ropes shown in the bird’s-eye view of Figure EX11.12 are used to drag a crate \(3.0 \ m\) across the floor. How much work is done by each of the three forces?

Solution

Step 1 of 4

We have to find the work done by each of the three forces.

The three force acting on the block is as shown in the below figure.

 

 

The work done by a force is given by the expression

\(W=\vec{F} \cdot \Delta \vec{r}\)

Where,

\(\vec{F}=\) Force applied by the in \(\mathrm{N}\)

\(\Delta \vec{r}=\) displacement of the

block \(=3.0 \mathrm{~m}\)
