Question

A horse does a work of $6250J$ while applying a force of $250N$ in pulling a tonga. The displacement produce in tonga is:

• A. $12.5m$
• B. $15m$
• C. $25m$
• D. $20m$

Answer 1

The correct option is C

$25m$

Step 1: Given data:

$Workdone\left(W\right)=6250J$

$Forceapplied=250N$

$Displacement\left(s\right)=?$ (To be calculated)

Step 2: Calculating the work done:

1. Applying, $Workdone\left(W\right)=force\left(F\right)\times displacement\left(s\right)$
2. By putting the given values in a formula, we get

$W=F\times s$

$6250J=250N\times s$

$\therefore s=\frac{6250J}{250N}=25m$

Hence, the correct answer is option (C) i.e. $25m$.
