Question

Part A Suppose you lift a 23kg box by a height of 1.0m . How much work do you do in lifting the box? Express your answer using two significant figures.   W = 230   J  
Part B Instead of lifting the box straight up, suppose you push it up a 1.0m -high ramp that makes a 30? degree angle with the horizontal, as shown in the figure. Being clever, you choose a ramp with no friction. How much force is required to push the box straight up the slope at a constant speed?(Figure 1)
Part C How long is the ramp?
Part D Use your force and distance results to calculate the work you do in pushing the box up the ramp.

Explanation / Answer

Work done = mgh = 23 * 10 * 1 = 230 J


Part B:

Force required = mgsinx = 23*10*sin30 = 115 N


Part C:

ramp = height/sin30 = 1/0.5 = 2m


Part D:

Force = 115 N

Distance = 2 m

Thus work = 115*2 = 230 J
