a ball being thrown straight up would excel faster.
4 J
B.
40 J
C.
400 J
D.
4000 J
The correct answer to the question is C) 400 J.
CALCULATION:
As per the question, the force applied on the block F = 40 N.
The distance travelled by the block S = 10 m.
We are asked to calculate the work done by the block.
The work done by a body under a force F is calculated as -
Work done W =
=
Here, is the angle between force and displacement.
If , then work done W =
= FS. [ cos0 = 1]
Hence, the work done by the block W = FS
= 40 N × 10 m
= 400 Joule. [ans]
Here, Joule is the unit of work.
Hence, the work done by the block s 400 Joule.
fulcrum to get the correct mechanical advantage?
Answer:
The distance of load from fulcrum is 5 m.
Explanation:
Given:
Mechanical advantage, MA = 0.4
Distance of force from fulcrum is,
Distance of load from fulcrum is,
We know that, Mechanical advantage of a machine is the ratio of the effort arm and load arm.
So, Mechanical advantage is given as:
Therefore, the distance of load from fulcrum is 5 m.
