A 100 N force pulls a box horizontally across a floor for 2 m. How much was done by the force of gravity (which pulls straight down on the box)?

Respuesta :

The work done by the force of gravity will be 200 J.

What is work done?

Work done is defined as the product of applied force and the distance through which the body is displaced on which the force is applied.

Work may be zero, positive and negative. it depends on the direction of the body displaced. if the body is displaced in the same direction of the force it will be positive.

The given data in the problem is;

F is the force applied = 100 N

d is the displacement =  2 m

W is the work done

The done by the force of gravity will be ;

W = F × d

W= 100 N × 2 m

W = 200 Nm

W = 200 J

Hence, the work done by the force of gravity will be 200 J.
