A force of 50 pounds exerted at an angle of 25 degree with t
A force of 50 pounds, exerted at an angle of 25 degree with the horizontal, is required to slide a desk across a floor. Determine the work done in sliding the desk 15 feet.
Solution
force = 50 pounds
angle = 30 degrees
work done is given by
W = F.D
||F|| || D || cos theta
W = 50* 15 * cos 25
therefore work done is
W = 679.73
