A perosn is holding a bucket by applying a force of 20N. He moves a horizontal distance of 15m first and then climbs up a distance of 12m. What is the total work done by him?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here, `F=20N, s_(1)=15m, theta_(1)=90^(@)`
`s_(2)=12m, theta_(2)=0^(@), W=?`
`W=W_(1)+W_(2)=Fs_(1)costheta_(1)+Fs_(2)costheta_(2)`
`=20xx15cos90^(@)+20xx12cos0^(@)`
`W=0+240=240J`
