A and B are two points 50 metres apart on a straight path inclined at an angle \(\theta\) to the horizontal, where \(\sin \theta = 0.05\), with A above the level of B. A block of mass 16 kg is pulled down the path from A to B. The block starts from rest at A and reaches B with a speed of 10 m s-1. The work done by the pulling force acting on the block is 1150 J.
The block is now pulled up the path from B to A. The work done by the pulling force and the work done against the resistance to motion are the same as in the case of the downward motion.
A car of mass 1250 kg travels from the bottom to the top of a straight hill of length 600 m, which is inclined at an angle of 2.5ยฐ to the horizontal. The resistance to motion of the car is constant and equal to 400 N. The work done by the driving force is 450 kJ. The speed of the car at the bottom of the hill is 30 m s-1. Find the speed of the car at the top of the hill.
A block is pushed along a horizontal floor by a force of magnitude 45 N acting at an angle of 14ยฐ to the horizontal (see diagram). Find the work done by the force in moving the block a distance of 25 m.
A ring is threaded on a fixed horizontal bar. The ring is attached to one end of a light inextensible string which is used to pull the ring along the bar at a constant speed of 0.5 m s-1. The string makes a constant angle of 24ยฐ with the bar and the tension in the string is 6 N (see diagram). Find the work done by the tension in a period of 8 s.
A block is pulled in a straight line along horizontal ground by a force of constant magnitude acting at an angle of 60ยฐ above the horizontal. The work done by the force in moving the block a distance of 5 m is 75 J. Find the magnitude of the force.
