A block is pulled for a distance of 50 m along a horizontal floor, by a rope that is inclined at an angle of \(\alpha^\circ\) to the floor. The tension in the rope is 180 N and the work done by the tension is 8200 J. Find the value of \(\alpha\).
Solution
The work done by the tension in the rope is given by the formula:
\(\text{Work Done (WD)} = F \cdot d \cdot \cos \alpha\)
where \(F\) is the force (tension), \(d\) is the distance, and \(\alpha\) is the angle of inclination.
