Question

During a tug of war, team A pulls on team B by applying a force of $1100N$ on the rope between them. How much work does team A do if they pull team B towards them by a distance of $2m$.

Answer 1

Step 1: Given:

Force F= 1100 N

Displacement caused by the applied force S = 2 m

Step 2: Solution:

Force and displacement are in the same direction their angle in between them is zero.

Work done is calculated as
$$\begin{gathered} W=F\times S\times \cos \theta \\ W=1100\times 2\times \cos {\theta }^0 \\ W=2200\mathrm{J} \end{gathered}$$

Final Answer: Work done by team A while pulling team B is 2200 J.
