Question

A block of mass m = 3.20 kg is pushed a distance d = 3.40 m along a frictionless, horizontal table by a constant applied force of magnitude F = 16.0 N directed at an angle = 24.0° below the horizontal as shown in the figure below.

(a) Determine the work done on the block by the applied force.
J

(b) Determine the work done on the block by the normal force exerted by the table.
J

(c) Determine the work done on the block by the gravitational force.
J

(d) Determine the work done by the net force on the block.
J

Explanation / Answer

Given Mass of block m = 3.20 kg Distance travelled by block d = 3.40 m Magnitude of force F = 16.0 N = 24o a) Work done on the block by applied force               W = F s                     = ( 16.0 N cos 24 ) ( 3.4 m )                     = 49.6968 J        ______________________________________________ b) Work done on the block by normal force is               N = mg + F sin                    = ( 3.2 kg ) ( 9.8 m/s 2 )   + 16 sin 24                    =   37.8677 N                  W = N .d                     = ( 37.8677 N ) ( 3.4 m )                     = 128.75 N _______________________________________________ c) Work done by gravitational force             F g = mg             W = mg . d                   = ( 3.2 kg ) ( 9.8 m/s2 ) ( 3.4 m )                   = 106.624 J ________________________________________________ d) Net work done is            W = F s                     = ( 16.0 N cos 24 ) ( 3.4 m )                     = 49.6968 J        ______________________________________________ ________________________________________________ d) Net work done is            W = F s                     = ( 16.0 N cos 24 ) ( 3.4 m )                     = 49.6968 J        ______________________________________________                     = ( 16.0 N cos 24 ) ( 3.4 m )                     = 49.6968 J        ______________________________________________
