Question

Directions: Analyze and illustrate the given problems. Show your mathematical equations.
1. How much work is done when you lift an object that weighs 180 N to a height of 12 meters?
2. A cylindrical container having a mass of 50 kg is being pushed up an inclined plane. How much work
is done on the container when it is 6 meters above the floor?
3. How much work do you do to a 16-N rock that you carry horizontally across a 4m room?

Answer 1

Answer:

1. 2160 J

2. 2940 J

3. 64 J

Explanation:

1. Determination of the work done.

Weight (W) = 180 N

Height (h) = 12 m

Workdone =?

Wd = W × h

Wd = 180 × 12

Wd = 2160 J

Thus, the Workdone is 2160 J

2. Determination of the work done.

Mass (m) = 50 Kg

Height (h) = 6 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Workdone =?

Wd = mgh

Wd = 50 × 9.8 × 6

Wd = 2940 J

Thus, the Workdone is 2940 J

3. Determination of the work done.

Force (F) = 16 N

Distance (d) = 4 m

Workdone =?

Wd = F × d

Wd = 16 × 4

Wd = 64 J

Thus, the Workdone is 64 J
