Robot 4 applies 30 N of force to lift 3 building blocks 2 m.

1 answer

To determine the work done by Robot 4 in lifting the building blocks, you can use the formula for work:

\[ \text{Work} = \text{Force} \times \text{Distance} \times \cos(\theta) \]

Where:

  • Work is measured in joules (J)
  • Force is measured in newtons (N)
  • Distance is measured in meters (m)
  • \(\theta\) is the angle between the force and the direction of movement (when vertically lifting, \(\theta = 0^\circ\), and \(\cos(0^\circ) = 1\))

In this case:

  • Force (F) = 30 N
  • Distance (d) = 2 m
  • \(\theta = 0^\circ\) (since the force is acting in the same direction as the movement)

Now, plug in the values:

\[ \text{Work} = 30 , \text{N} \times 2 , \text{m} \times \cos(0^\circ) = 30 , \text{N} \times 2 , \text{m} \times 1 \]

\[ \text{Work} = 60 , \text{J} \]

So, Robot 4 does 60 joules of work to lift the 3 building blocks 2 meters.
