An object is pulled along the ground by exerting a force of 30 pounds a rope that makes a 20° angle with the ground. How much work is done dragging the object 14 feet? __________ foot-pounds
Added by Claudia S.
Step 1
Step 1: Calculate the work done using the formula W = F * d * cos(theta), where F is the force (30 pounds), d is the displacement (14 feet), and theta is the angle between the force and displacement (20 degrees). Show more…
