A rope is used o pull a metal box 15.0m across the floor. The rope is held at an angle of 46.0 degrees with the floor and a force of 628N is used. How much work does the force of the rope do?

3 answers

Work=Force*distance*sin(angle between force and distance.

work= 628*15*sin46
Work = Force*distance

work = (628cos46)*15

= 6543.7 J
