Question

A tugboat can do 9,500,00 J of work through a distance of 35 m. What is the force exerted by the tugboat?
need help please asap!!

Answer 1

Given:-

• Work done = 9,50,000J
• Distance = 35m

To find :-

• Force acting on a body

SOLUTION :-

As we know that ,

Workdone = Force ×Displacement

Here Displacement = Distance Because as body travels in straight line

Plugging values

9,50,000 = F × 35

F = 9,50,000/35

F = 1,90,000/7

F = 27,142.5N

So, force acting on a body is 27,142.5N

KNOW MORE :-

Work done by body may be Kinetic energy, potential energy, Gravitational potential energy ,Elastic potential energy

Some formulae to remember:-

K.E = 1/2 mv²

• K.E = Kinetic energy
• m = mass of body
• v = velocity of body

W = mgh

• m = mass of a body
• g = gravity
• h = height

U = 1/2kx²

• U = Elastic potential enrgy
• k = spring constant
• x = conpressibility
