A block of mass 10 kg is at rest on a rough plane inclined at an angle of 30ยฐ to the horizontal. A force of 120 N is applied to the block at an angle of 20ยฐ above a line of greatest slope (see diagram). There is a force resisting the motion of the block and 200 J of work is done against this force when the block has moved a distance of 5 m up the plane from rest.

Find the speed of the block when it has moved a distance of 5 m up the plane from rest.

A man has mass 80 kg. He runs along a horizontal road against a constant resistance force of magnitude \(P\) N. The total work done by the man in increasing his speed from 4 m s\(^{-1}\) to 5.5 m s\(^{-1}\) while running a distance of 60 metres is 1200 J. Find the value of \(P\).

A man pushes a wheelbarrow of mass 25 kg along a horizontal road with a constant force of magnitude 35 N at an angle of 20ยฐ below the horizontal. There is a constant resistance to motion of 15 N. The wheelbarrow moves a distance of 12 m from rest.

(i) Find the work done by the man.

(ii) Find the speed attained by the wheelbarrow after 12 m.

One end of a light inextensible string is attached to a block. The string makes an angle of \(\theta^\circ\) with the horizontal. The tension in the string is 20 N. The string pulls the block along a horizontal surface at a constant speed of 1.5 m s\(^{-1}\) for 12 s. The work done by the tension in the string is 50 J. Find \(\theta\).
