A person pushes a box on a rough horizontal plateform surface. He applies a force of 200 N over a distance of 15 m . Thereafter, he gets progressively tired and his applied force reduces linearly with distance to 100 N . The total distance through which the box has been moved is 30 m . What is the work done by the person during the total movement of the box?
Options
- A3280   J
- B2780   J
- C5690   J
- D5250   J
Correct answer
D. 5250   J
Step-by-step solution
W = area = ( 200 × 15 ) + 1 2 ( 100 + 200 ) × 15 = 3000 + 2250 W = 5250   J
