Workdone = 601.33 Nm
Workdone = Force(F) x horizontal distance(d).
Wordone = F x d
Where F is the horizontal component of the force
Force = 35 pounds
Recall that;
1 pound force = 4.4N
=> 35 pounds = 35 x 4.4N = 154N
=> Force = 154N
But since the rope makes a 10⁰ angle with the ground,
The horizontal component of the force F is Force x cos10⁰
=> F = 154 cos 10⁰
=> F = 154 x 0.9848
=> F = 151.66N
Horizontal distance (d) = 13 feet
Recall that;
1 foot = 0.305m
=> 13 feet = 13 x 0.305m = 3.965m
=> d = 3.965m
=> Substituting the values of F and d into the equation above, we have;
Workdone = F x d
Workdone = 151.66N x 3.965m
Workdone = 601.33Nm
