The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the angle θ that the force makes with the direction of motion of the body. We can use the formula for work done by a force, which is given by: \[ W = F \cdot d \cdot \cos(\theta) \] Where: - \( W \) is the work done (in joules) - \( F \) is the magnitude of the force (in newtons) - \( d \) is the distance moved by the body (in meters) - \( \theta \) is the angle between the force and the direction of motion ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values**: - Work done, \( W = 25 \, \text{J} \) - Force, \( F = 5 \, \text{N} \) - Distance, \( d = 10 \, \text{m} \) 2. **Substitute the values into the work done formula**: \[ 25 = 5 \cdot 10 \cdot \cos(\theta) \] 3. **Simplify the equation**: \[ 25 = 50 \cdot \cos(\theta) \] 4. **Solve for \( \cos(\theta) \)**: \[ \cos(\theta) = \frac{25}{50} = \frac{1}{2} \] 5. **Find the angle \( \theta \)**: \[ \theta = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \] The angle whose cosine is \( \frac{1}{2} \) is \( 60^\circ \). ### Final Answer: The angle which the force makes with the direction of motion of the body is \( 60^\circ \).
