![***Physics Work Calculation Problem***
**Problem:**
A rope exerts a force \( F \) on a 20 kg crate. The crate starts from rest and accelerates upward at 5.00 m/s² near the surface of Earth. How much work was done by the force \( F \) in raising the crate 4.0 m above the floor?
**Solution:**
To solve this problem, we need to consider the following equations and concepts:
1. **Newton’s Second Law**:
\[ F_{\text{net}} = ma \]
Where:
- \( F_{\text{net}} \) is the net force acting on the crate.
- \( m \) is the mass of the crate (20 kg).
- \( a \) is the acceleration (5.00 m/s²).
2. **Forces acting on the crate**:
- The gravitational force (\( F_g \)) acting downward.
- The applied force (\( F \)) acting upward.
The gravitational force is given by:
\[ F_g = mg \]
Where:
- \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²).
3. **Net Force**:
\[ F_{\text{net}} = F - F_g \]
4. **Calculating the net force**:
\[ F_{\text{net}} = ma \]
Thus,
\[ F - mg = ma \]
\[ F = m(a + g) \]
\[ F = 20\, \text{kg} (5.00\, \text{m/s}^2 + 9.8\, \text{m/s}^2) \]
\[ F = 20\, \text{kg} (14.8\, \text{m/s}^2) \]
\[ F = 296\, \text{N} \]
5. **Work Done**:
Work done by the force \( F \) in raising the crate is calculated using the formula:
\[ W = F \cdot d \]
Where \( d \) is the distance (4.0 m).
\[ W = 296\, \text{N} \cdot 4.0\, \text{m} \]
\[ W =](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Faea29e6a-b699-42f9-bc31-a2ac588bd4f7%2Fe1d93319-ec47-418a-b8bc-dfdb99d88e4d%2F387lm9f_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
