A boy pulls a trolley with 6 N force at an angle of 60∘ from ground to move the trolley 10m. Find the work done by the boy.
30 J
60 J
45 J
90 J
Work done = F × s × cos θ = 6 × 10 × cos 60∘
Work done = 6 × 10 × 12 = 30 J
Estimate the work done by the boy to pull a trolley at the angle of θ from the ground. [3 MARKS]
When a boy is pulling a trolley by a handle (the direction of force applied makes an acute angle with the direction of displacement) is there any work? Why or why not?
