Question

Several children are on a sled pulled by a four-wheeler across a level snow-covered field. The sled is moving at a constant speed of 9.25 m/s, and the tow rope (parallel to the ground) makes an angle of 35.0 with respect to the velocity of the sled (see the figure below). If the tension in the rope is 37.0 N, determine the work done on the sled by the tension in the rope in 10.5 s.

Several children are on a sled pulled by a four-wheeler across a level snow-covered field. The sled is moving at a constant speed of 9.25 m/s, and the tow rope (parallel to the ground) makes an angle of 35.0 with respect to the velocity of the sled (see the figure below). If the tension in the rope is 37.0 N, determine the work done on the sled by the tension in the rope in 10.5 s. J

Explanation / Answer

work done = F.dcos@

= 37 x (9.25 x 10.5) x cos35 = 2943.73 J
