Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
Work done in pushing a cart.
Answer to Problem 34A
Work done will be,
Explanation of Solution
Given :
Force applied,
Distance traveled,
Formula used :
Where, W is work done, F is applied force and s is distance traveled.
Calculation :
Now, substituting the value of F and s and solve.
Conclusion :
Therefore, work done will be equal to 70 J.
