Karla Ayala pulls a sled on an icy road (dangerous!). Because of Karla's pull, the tension force is 151 N, and the rope makes a 20.0° with the horizontal. If the 7.0-kg sled is pulled across 10.0 meters, what is the work done by Karla?

W = 1418.9 J = 1.418 KJ

Explanation:

In order to find the work done by the pull force applied by Karla, we need to can use the formula of work done. This formula tells us that work done on a body is the product of the distance covered by the object with the component of force applied in the direction of that displacement:

W = F.d

W = Fd Cosθ

where,

W = Work Done = ?

F = Force = 151 N

d = distance covered = 10 m

θ = Angle with horizontal = 20°

Therefore,

W = (151 N)(10 m) Cos 20°

W = 1418.9 J = 1.418 KJ

answer; (arch); good luck
