Question

how much work is done in a force of 5kN moves its point application 600mm in the direction of the force?​

Answer 1

Given

• Force = 5 kN
• Distance = 600 mm

To Find

• Work done

Solution

We know that

$\rm \longrightarrow W=Fd$

Here

• W = Work done
• F = Force
• d = Distance

Units

• W = Joule (J)
• F = Newton (N)
• d = metre (m)

According to the question

We are asked to find work done

Therefore

We must find "W"

Given that

• Force = 5 kN
• Distance = 600 mm

Hence

• F = 5 kN = 5000 N
• d = 600 mm = 0.6 m

Substituting the values

We get

$\rm \longrightarrow W=5000 \times 0.6 \ J$

Therefore

$\rm \longrightarrow W=3000 \ J$

Hence

Work done = 3000 J
