Chapter 10.1, Problem 16SSC

To determine

Amount of work done.

Answer to Problem 16SSC

Amount of work done by M is $800\text{J}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Horizontal force applied is $F=80\text{N}$

Distance covered is $d=10\text{m}$

Mass of object is $m=20\text{kg}$

Formula Used:

Work done by M on the mass can be obtained by:

  $W=Fd$ ….. (1)

Calculation:

Substitute the values in equation (1) and solve:

  $\begin{array}{l}\Rightarrow W=80\times 10\\ =800\text{J}\end{array}$
