EXAMPLE
1. What is the work done in
pulling a crate 20m horizontally
when a Force of 60N is applied
on a rope that makes an angle of
30° with the ground?
EXAMPLE
2. How much work is done when a 2.5-kg package is pulled to a distance of
2m along a level floor? (The coefficient of friction is 0.2).
EXAMPLE
3. A factory worker pushes horizontally a 30-kg crate to a distance of
4.5 m along a level floor at a constant velocity. The coefficient of kinetic
friction between the crate and the floor is 0.25.
A. What magnitude of force must the worker apply?
B. How much work is done on the crate by this force?
C. How much work is done on the crate by the friction force?
D. How much work is done by the normal force? By gravity?
E. What is the net work done on the crate?
 EXAMPLE

3. Calculate the power required of a 60-

kg person who climbs a tree 5 meters
high in 10 seconds.
