The work done by a person in raising a box can be calculated using the formula:
Work = Force x Distance x Cos(theta)
where:
- Force = 50 N (weight in Newtons)
- Distance = 0.5 m (height raised in meters)
- Cos(theta) = 1 (assuming the angle between the force and displacement is 0 degrees)
Plugging in the values, we get:
Work = 50 N x 0.5 m x 1
Work = 25 Joules
Therefore, the person does 25 Joules of work in raising the box.
A person raises a box with the weight of 50 N x 0.5 m how much work does the person do in this action
