a boy is pulling a cart by supplying a constant force of 8N on a straight path of 20m.On a round about of 10m diameter he forgets the path and takes 1 1/2 turns and then continues on the straight path for another 20m.Find the network done by the boy on the cart.

Work Done in covering 20 m when constant force of 8N is applied
we know
W = F x s
=> W1 = 8 x 20 = 160 J
Now distance covered in one and half circle (diameter = 10m)
radius = 5 m
Distance covered in one circle
= 2 πr = 2 x 3.14 x 5 = 31.4 m
Distance covered in half circle
= πr = 3.14 x 5
= 15.7
distance covered in one and a half circle
= 15.7 + 31.4 = 47.1 m
Now ,
Workdone will be
W2 = 8 x 47.1 = 376.8 J
Travelling again for 20 m
W3 = 20 x 8 = 160 J
Total work done
W1 + W2 + W3
160 + 376.8 + 160
= 696.8 ≈ 697 Joules
