Conveyor belts are often used to move packages around warehouses. The conveyor shown below moves packages at a steady 4.0 m/s. A 500 N employee decides to catch a ride by sitting on a 1,000 N box for a 50 m trip as shown below:



What is the work done by the employee on the box?

The work done by the employee on the box at the given zero displacement is 0 J.

The given parameters;

  • Constant velocity of the conveyor, v = 4 m/s
  • Weight of the employee, W = 500 N
  • Weight of the box, W = 1,000 N
  • Distance of the trip, h = 50 m

The work done by the employee on the box is calculated as follows;

W = Fd

where;

  • F is the applied force on the box by employee = weight of the employee
  • d is the distance through which the box is moved

Since the employee sits on the box without moving it, the distance moved by the box = 0

W = 500 x 0

W = 0 J

Thus, the work done by the employee on the box is 0 J.
