During a tug-of-war, team A pulls on team B by applying a force of 1390 N to the rope between them. How much work does team A do if they pull team B toward them a distance of 3.68 m

Respuesta :

Answer:

5115.2 J

Explanation:

Work: This can be defined as product of force and distance. The S.I unit of work is Joules (J).

From the question,

The expression for work is given as

W = F×d................. Equation 1

Where W = Work done by team A, F = Force applied by team A, d = distance moved by team B.

Given: F = 1390 N, d = 3.68 m

Substitute into equation 1

W = 1390×3.68

W = 5115.2 J.

Hence the work done by team A in pulling team B = 5115.2 J
