Answer:
Horizontal component of pull = (cos 55 x 33.9) = 19.4N.
Net horizontal force = (19.4 - 14.2) = 5.2N.
Work = (fd) = (5.2 x 13.5) = 70.2 Joules.
Rounded to 1 decimal place throughout.
Explanation:
The total work done on the vacuum is 70.2 J.
What is work done?
Work done is equal to product of force applied and distance moved.
Work = Force x Distance
Given is a custodian pulls a vacuum 13.5 m with a 33.9 N force at a 55.0° angle, against a 14.2 N friction force.
Horizontal component of pull = (cos 55 x 33.9) = 19.4N.
Net horizontal force = (19.4 - 14.2) = 5.2N.
Work done by vacuum will be
Work =5.2 x 13.5
Work =70.2 J
Thus, the total work done on the vacuum is 70.2 J.
