A 30 kg crate is moved along a horizontal floor by a warehouse worker who's pulling on it with a rope that makes a 60^(@) angle with the horizontal. The tension in the rope is 200 N and the crate slides a distance of 10 m. how much work is done on the crate by the worker?

Answer»

Solution :The figure below shows that `F_(T) and d` are not parallel. It's only the COMPONENT of the force acting along the DIRECTION of motion, `F_(T) costheta`, that does any work.
ltBrgt THEREFORE `W=(F_(T)costheta)d=(200N*cos60^(@))(10M)=1,000J`
