Question
![**Problem Description:**
During a move, you and two friends decide to move a heavy dresser. You pull the dresser to the right with a force \( F_1 = 4.93 \, \text{N} \). One friend applies a downward force of \( F_2 = 3.27 \, \text{N} \) on the dresser. The other friend pulls with a force of \( F_3 = 8.58 \, \text{N} \) at an angle of 60 degrees, as depicted in the diagram. If the three of you manage to slide the dresser 3.24 m towards the right, what is the net work done on the dresser by the three forces?
**Diagram Explanation:**
- The diagram shows a coordinate system with the \( x \)-axis pointing to the right and the \( y \)-axis pointing upward.
- A brown rectangular block represents the dresser.
- Force \( F_1 \) is shown as an arrow pointing to the right along the \( x \)-axis.
- Force \( F_2 \) is a downward arrow aligned with the \( -y \)-axis.
- Force \( F_3 \) is an arrow positioned at a 60-degree angle from the horizontal axis, pointing upwards and to the left.
- The displacement \( \Delta x \) is indicated to the right along the \( x \)-axis.
**Calculation of Net Work Done:**
To calculate the net work done by these forces, we need to consider only the components of the forces that are parallel to the direction of displacement (\( \Delta x \)).
1. **Work done by \( F_1 \):**
\[
W_1 = F_1 \cdot \Delta x = 4.93 \, \text{N} \times 3.24 \, \text{m} = 15.98 \, \text{J}
\]
2. **Work done by \( F_2 \):**
- Since \( F_2 \) is perpendicular to the direction of motion, it does no work.
\[
W_2 = 0
\]
3. **Work done by \( F_3 \):**
- The horizontal component of \( F_3 \) is \( F_{3x} = F_3 \cos(60^\circ) \).](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F82e82db8-362b-4865-93d3-f20edd638ab0%2F1ba7f24a-18ed-4ca4-991f-3ec1243450ca%2Fdkgpxuk_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
