a particle moves a distance of 190 ft along a straight line. As it moves, it is acted upon by a constant force of magnitude 15 lb in a direction opposite to that of the motion. What is the work done by the force

Answer:

3868.1625 Nm

Explanation:

Given that:

Distance moved = 190 ft

Magnitude of force = 15 lb

Converting units :

1 lb = 4.45 Newton

1 ft = 0.305 meter

Hence,

Distance moved = (190 * 0.305) = 57.95 meter

Magnitude of force = (15 * 4.45) = 66.75 Newton

Workdone = Force * distance

Workdone = 66.75 N * 57.95 m

Workdone = 3868.1625 Nm
