Question Number 28644 by NECx last updated on 28/Jan/18

A man pushes a box of 40kg up  an incline plane of 15°,if the man  applies a horizontal force of  200N and the box moves up the  plane a distance of 20m at a  constant velocity and the  coefficient of friction is 0.10,  find   a)workdone by the man on the  box.  b)workdone against friction.

Work done by man on box=Fcos θ×20  =200cos 15°×20=1000(√2)((√3)+1)  f=μN=μ(Fsin θ+mgcos θ)  =0.1(200sin 15°+40gcos 15°)

$${Work}\:{done}\:{by}\:{man}\:{on}\:{box}={F}\mathrm{cos}\:\theta×\mathrm{20} \\ $$$$=\mathrm{200cos}\:\mathrm{15}°×\mathrm{20}=\mathrm{1000}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}\left(\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}+\mathrm{1}\right) \\ $$$${f}=\mu{N}=\mu\left({F}\mathrm{sin}\:\theta+{mg}\mathrm{cos}\:\theta\right) \\ $$$$=\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{1}\left(\mathrm{200sin}\:\mathrm{15}°+\mathrm{40}{g}\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{15}°\right) \\ $$
