Question

Part A How much work is done by the horizontal force FP = 150 N on the 18-kg block of the figure(Figure 1) when the force pushes the block 4.4m  up along the 32? incline? Assuming a coefficient of friction ?k = 0.10. [Hint: Work-energy involves net work done.] Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Part B How much work is done by the gravitational force on the block during this displacement? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
Part D What is the speed of the block (assume that it is zero initially) after this displacement? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Explanation / Answer

Work done by force FP = Force x displacement in the direction of force

                                 = 150 x 4.4 = 660 Joules


Work done by gravity = Force x displacement in vertical direction

                               = 18 x 9.81 x (-4.4 sin32)

                               = - 411.72 Joules....(- sign signifies displacemnet in opposite direction)


Net force on the body = FP - mgsin32 - u(mgcos32)

                                = 150 - 18*9.81(0.6147)

                                = 41.452 Newton


acceleration, a = F/m = 2.30 m/s^2

final velocity:

v^2 = 2*a*s

      = 2 * 2.30 * 4.4

      = 20.265


thus, v = 4.50 m/s
