Figure 7-27 shows an overhead view of three horizontal forces acting on a cargo canister that was initially stationary but now moves across a frictionless floor. The force magnitudes are F1=3.00N, F2=4.00N, and F3=10.00N, and the indicated angles are θ2=50.0°and θ3=35.0°. What is the net work done on the canister by the three forces during the first 4.00 m of displacement?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Work done on the canister by three forces during 4.0 m of the displacement will be 15.3 J.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

Forces are given as, F1=3.00N, F2=4.00N, F3=10.0N.

The angles are, θ2=50.0°, θ3=35.0°.

Displacement is, d=4.0m.

02

Understanding the concept

As the magnitude and the direction for each force are given, we can calculate the net force acting on the canister. We know the value for displacement, and we can find the net force acting on the canister; hence, from this data, we can find the work done.

Formula:

∑Fx=0∑Fy=0F=Fx2+Fy2W=Fd

03

Calculate the net work done on the canister by the three forces during the first 4.00 m of displacement 

The free Body Diagram for a canister is given as,

From this, we can find total force in the x direction as,

Fxnet=10N×cos35°-3N-4N×sin50°Fxnet=2.13N

The total force in the y direction is,

Fynet=10N×sin35°-4N×cos50°Fynet=3.17N

Now, the total net force can be calculated as,

Fnet=Fxnet2+Fynet2

Substitute the values in the above expression, and we get,

Fnet=2.13N2+3.16N2Fnet=14.52N2Fnet=3.82N

Work done can be calculated as,

W=Fnetd

Substitute the values in the above expression, and we get,

W=3.82N×4.0mW=15.3J

Thus, work done on the canister by three forces during 4.0 m of the displacement will be 15.3 J.

A 3.0 kg body is at rest on a frictionless horizontal air track when a constant horizontal force F→acting in the positive direction of an x axis along the track is applied to the body. A stroboscopic graph of the position of the body as it slides to the right is shown in Fig. 7-25. The force F→is applied to the body at t=0, and the graph records the position of the body at 0.50 s intervals. How much work is done on the body by the applied force F→between t=0 and t=2.0 s ?

A 1.5 kg block is initially at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface when a horizontal force along an x axis is applied to the block. The force is given by F→(x)=(2.5-x2)i^N , where x is in meters and the initial position of the block is x=0. (a) What is the kinetic energy of the block as it passes through x=2.0 m? (b) What is the maximum kinetic energy of the block between x=0 and x=2.0 m?

An explosion at ground level leaves a crater with a diameter that is proportional to the energy of the explosion raised to the 13 power; an explosion of 1 megaton of TNT leaves a crater with a 1 km diameter. Below Lake Huron in Michigan there appears to be an ancient impact crater with a 50 km diameter. What was the kinetic energy associated with that impact, in terms of (a) megatons of TNT (1 megaton yields 4.2×1015J) and (b) Hiroshima bomb equivalents (13kilotons of TNT each)? (Ancient meteorite or comet impacts may have significantly altered the climate, killing off the dinosaurs and other life-forms.)

Numerical integration. A breadbox is made to move along an x axis from x=0.15m by a force with a magnitude given by F=exp(-2x2), with x in meters and F in Newton. (Here exp is the exponential function.) How much work is done on the breadbox by the force?

A 45 kgblock of ice slides down a frictionless incline 1.5mlong and 0.91 mhigh. A worker pushes up against the ice, parallel to the incline, so that the block slides down at constant speed. (a) Find the magnitude of the worker’s force. How much work is done on the block by (b) the worker’s force, (c) the gravitational force on the block, (d) the normal force on the block from the surface of the incline, and (e) the net force on the block?
