Question

Rico slides a 60-kg crate up an inclined ramp2.0-m long onto a platform 1.0 m above floor level. A 400-N force,parallel to the ramp, is needed to slide the crate up the ramp at aconstant speed. a. How much work does Rico doin sliding the crate up the ramp? b. How much work would be doneif Rico simply lifted the crate straight up from the floor to theplatforn? I'm not really sure how to do this one, myteacher tried explaining it, but i just couldn't get the rightformula and plugging in the right numbers.

Explanation / Answer

W=Fd (where Work=force*displacement) part a: W=Fd W=(400)(2) W=800J part b: W=Fd W=mgd W=(60)(9.8)(1) W=588 J
