A sailor pulls a boat horizontally alongside a dock for 10.0 m with a rope angled at 40.0°. He uses a force of 100.0 N.643 J766 J1.00×10^3 J4.00×10^4 J

Respuesta :

We have the next diagram

First we need to obtain the force in the x-axis

[tex]Fx=F\cos (\theta)[/tex]

where F=100 and θ=40°

[tex]F_X=100\cos (40)=76.60N[/tex]

And the use the next formula for work

[tex]W=F\cdot d[/tex]

where F is the force, d is the distance and W is the work

in our case F=Fx and d=10

[tex]W=76.6\cdot10=766\text{ J}[/tex]

the work he did is 766 J
