A 12.0-kg package in a mail-sorting room slides 2.00 m down a chute that is inclined at 53.0掳

below the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the package and the chute鈥檚 surface is 0.40. Calculate the work done on the package by (a) friction, (b) gravity, and (c) the normal force, (d) What is the net work done on the package.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) Wf=-56.66J

(b) Wg=187.97J

(c)Wn=0J

(d) Wnet=131.31J

Step by step solution

01

Identification of the given data

The given data is listed below as-

  • The distance covered by the package is, s=2.0m
  • The mass of the package is, m=12kg
  • The coefficient of kinetic friction between the package and the chute鈥檚 surface is k=0.40
02

Significance of the work done

Workdone can be calculated using the forces exerted on the body and the total displacement of the body. Thereforeif a constant force Fis appliedduring displacementsalong a straight lineis given by,

W=Fs=Fs肠辞蝉蠒

If F and s are in the same direction then =0and if it is in opposite direction then =180.

03

Determination of work done on the package by friction(a)

The friction force is

f=kmg肠辞蝉胃

The work done by friction is

Wf=kmg肠辞蝉胃s

Here, kis the coefficient of friction between the package and the chute鈥檚 surface, m is the mass of the package, g is the gravitational constant, and sis the displacement.

For k=0.40,m=12kg,s=2.0m,=53and g=9.8m.s2

Wf=-kmg肠辞蝉胃s=-0.412kg9.8m.s2cos532m=-56.66J

Thus, the magnitude of work done on the package by friction is -56.66J

04

Determination of work done on the package by gravity(b)

The work done by gravity on the package is given by

Wg=mg蝉颈苍胃s=12kg9.8m.s2sin532m=187.97J

Thus, the work done by gravity on the package is given by 187.97J.

05

Determination of work done on the package by the normal force(c)

The work done is equal to zero because normal is perpendicular to the direction of motion.

Therefore.

Wn=0J

Thus, work done on the package by normal force is0 J.

06

Determination of net work done on the package(d)

Net work done on the package will be the sum of all the individual work

Wnet=Wf+Wg+Wn=-56.66J+187.97J+0J=131.31J

Thus, the total work done on the package is 131.31 J.
