An object is displaced by 10 meters in the direction of applied force. If the applied force is 55N, what is the work done by the force? |
Answer» Given :➨ Displacement = 10m ➨ Magnitude of force = 55N To Find :➳ Work done by applied force. Concept :⇒ Work done by force is DEFINED as the dot product of magnitude of applied force and displacement. ⇒ It is a scalar quantity having only magnitude. ⇒ SI unit : JOULE (J) MATHEMATICALLY, W = F▪d = FD cosΦ (Φ denotes angle between applied force and displacement) Calculation :➠ W = Fd cosΦ ➠ W = (55)(10) cos 0° ➠ W = 550 × 1 ➠ W = 550J |
