Question

if a 100J of work was done ,when a force of 12.5N acts,what was the distance moved by the force?

Answer 1

Work done =Force applied * Displacement [ Distance moved ]
100 = 12.5 * D
Distance = 8 m.

Answer 2

Given,

Total work done = 100 J

Total force applied = 12.5 N

To find,

The distance moved by the force.

Solution,

We can simply solve this numerical problem by using the following process:

Mathematically,

Total work done = (Force applied)×(displacement/ distance moved)

=> (distance moved) = (total work done)/(force applied)

{Statement-1}

Now, according to the question;

The distance moved by the force

= (total work done)/(force applied)

{according to statement-1}

= (100 J)/(12.5 N)

= 8 m

Hence, the distance moved by the force is equal to 8 meters.
