A boy pushes a book by applying a force of 40N. Fin the work done by this force as the book is displaced through 25cm along the path.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here, force acting on the book, `F =40N`
distance through which book is displaced, `s =25 cm= 0.25 m`
Work done by the force, i.e., `W = Fxxs = (40N)(0.25m) = 10J`

Mathematically, work is defined as the product of froce and displacement through which force acts. If F is the applied force, 'S' is the displacement in the direction of applied force and W is the work done, then : Work done = Force xx Displacement through which force acts. W = F xx S The SI unit of work is Joule (J) and cgs unit is erg. 1 J = 10^(7) erg. 6000 J of work is done to move a rock 25 m. How much force was applied ?
