Answer:

-6,329.5Joules

Explanation:

Complete question:

Sally applies a horizontal force of 462N with a rope to drag a wooden crate across a floor with a constant speed the rope tied to the crate is pulled at an angle of 56.0degree and sally moves the crate 24.5m. What work is done by the floor through the force of friction between the floor and crate.

Work done = Fd cos theta

F is the horizontal force

d is the distance covered

theta angle of inclination

Substituting into the formula

Workdone  = 462(24.5)cos 56

Workdone = 11,319(0.5592)

Workdone = 6,329.5Joules

Hence the workdone by sally is 6,329.5Joules

The work done by friction will be opposite the work done by sally, hence work done by the floor through force of friction between the floor and the crate is -6,329.5Joules
