Question
A crate is pulled $675 \mathrm{ft}$ across a warehouse floor by a worker using a rope that makes an angle of $50.0^{\circ}$ with the floor. If $375 \mathrm{lb}$ is exerted on the rope, how much work is done in pulling the crate across the floor?
Step 1
The work done (W) is given by the formula: \[W = F \cdot s \cdot \cos(\theta)\] where F is the force applied, s is the distance moved, and \(\theta\) is the angle between the force and the direction of motion. Show more…

A crate is pulled by a force of 628 N across the floor by a worker using a rope making an angle of 46.0° with the floor. If the crate is pulled 15.0 m, how much work does the force on the rope do?
A box is dragged along the floor by a rope that applies a force of $50 \mathrm{lb}$ at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the floor. How much work is done in moving the box $15 \mathrm{ft} ?$
