A block of mass 2.0 kg is pushed down an inclined plane of inclination 37∘ with a force of 20 N acting parallel to the incline. It is found that the block moves on the incline with an acceleration of 10 m/s2. If the block started from rest, find the work done (WF) by the applied force, work done (Wg) by the weight of the block and work done (Wf) by the frictional force acting on the block in the 1st second. Take g=10 m/s2.
WF=100 J;Wg=60 J;Wf=−60 J
So question is asking for work done in the first second
a=10 m/s2
u=0 m/s
t=1 sec
So, in 1 sec displacement of block will be s=ut+12 at2 s=5m
WF = Work done by force =F×s×cos θ
=20×5×cos 0∘
=100 J
Wg = Work done by weight =mg×s×cos θ
=2×g×5×cos 53∘
=60 J
Wf= Work done by friction =fr×s×cos θ
Oh, so we need NLM to find friction from free body drawing of object.
F+mg cos 53∘−fr=ma
20+12−fr=2×10
⇒fr=12 N
⇒Wf=12×5×cos 180∘=−60 J
