A person slowly slides a block of weight 100 N100 \text{ N} up a smooth incline of inclination 37^{}^{{}^{\circ}}. If the driving force is applied parallel to the incline, determine the work done by the person in moving the block through a distance of 2.0 m2.0 \text{ m}.

Options

  1. A160 J160 \text{ J}
  2. B60 J60 \text{ J}
  3. C200 J200 \text{ J}
  4. D120 J120 \text{ J}

Correct answer

D. 120 J120 \text{ J}

Step-by-step solution

Weight of the block, mg=100 Nmg = 100 \text{ N}

Inclination of the plane, \theta = 37^{}^{{}^{\circ}}

Distance moved, s=2.0 ms = 2.0 \text{ m}

Since the block is moved slowly, the net force on the block is zero. The driving force FF applied by the person balances the component of gravity along the incline.

F=mgsin⁡θF = mg \sin \theta

F = 100 \sin 37^{}^{{}^{\circ}} = 100 \times \dfrac{3}{5} = 60 \text{ N}

Work done by the person is the work done by the driving force.

W=Fs=60×2.0=120 JW = Fs = 60 \times 2.0 = 120 \text{ J}
