Solve the problem. Round your answer to the nearest tenth. A person is pulling a freight cart with a force of 41 pounds. How much work is done in moving the cart 20 feet if the cart\'s handle makes an angle of 30degree with the ground? Select one: A. 41.0 ft. -lb. 410.0 ft-lb 743.2 ft.- lb. 710.1 ft-lb
Solution
Work done = Force in the direction of displacement*displacement
= Fcos(theta)*displacement
= 41cos30 *20
= 820cos30
= 820*sqrt3/2
= 410sqrt3
= 710.1 ft-lb
