The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will use the formula for work done by a force: ### Step 1: Write the formula for work done The work done (W) by a force (F) when it acts over a displacement (d) at an angle (θ) is given by the formula: \[ W = F \cdot d \cdot \cos(\theta) \] ### Step 2: Substitute the known values From the question, we know: - Work done, \( W = 25\sqrt{3} \) J - Force, \( F = 10 \) N - Displacement, \( d = 5 \) m Substituting these values into the work done formula: \[ 25\sqrt{3} = 10 \cdot 5 \cdot \cos(\theta) \] ### Step 3: Simplify the equation Calculating \( 10 \cdot 5 \): \[ 25\sqrt{3} = 50 \cdot \cos(\theta) \] ### Step 4: Isolate \( \cos(\theta) \) To find \( \cos(\theta) \), divide both sides by 50: \[ \cos(\theta) = \frac{25\sqrt{3}}{50} \] ### Step 5: Simplify \( \cos(\theta) \) This simplifies to: \[ \cos(\theta) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] ### Step 6: Find the angle \( \theta \) To find \( \theta \), we take the inverse cosine: \[ \theta = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) \] From trigonometric values, we know: \[ \cos(30^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] Thus, \[ \theta = 30^\circ \] ### Conclusion The angle which the force makes with the direction of motion of the body is \( 30^\circ \). ---
