AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to calculate the work done by both the applied force and the resisting force when a box is pushed across a floor. Let's break this down step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Definition of Work Work done (W) is defined as the product of the force (F) applied to an object, the displacement (s) of the object, and the cosine of the angle (θ) between the force and the direction of displacement. The formula is given by: \[ W = F \cdot s \cdot \cos(\theta) \] ...

Work is said to be done by a force acting on a body, provided the body is displaced actually in any direction except in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the force. Mathematically, W=vec(F). vec(c)=Fs cos theta , Whereas energy is capacity of a body to do the work, power is the rate at which the body can do the work. P=(W)/(t)=vec(F).(vec(s))/(t)=vec(F). vec(upsilon) Both, work and energy are measured in joule and power is measured in watt.
