The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use the formula for work done by a force: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Formula for Work Done**: The work done \( W \) by a force \( F \) acting on an object that moves a distance \( D \) at an angle \( \theta \) to the direction of the force is given by: \[ W = F \cdot D \cdot \cos(\theta) \] 2. **Identify Given Values**: - Work done \( W = 25 \, \text{J} \) - Force \( F = 5 \, \text{N} \) - Distance \( D = 10 \, \text{m} \) 3. **Substitute the Values into the Formula**: Plugging the known values into the work done formula: \[ 25 = 5 \cdot 10 \cdot \cos(\theta) \] 4. **Simplify the Equation**: Calculate \( 5 \cdot 10 \): \[ 25 = 50 \cdot \cos(\theta) \] 5. **Isolate \( \cos(\theta) \)**: Divide both sides by 50: \[ \cos(\theta) = \frac{25}{50} = \frac{1}{2} \] 6. **Find the Angle \( \theta \)**: We know that \( \cos(60^\circ) = \frac{1}{2} \). Therefore: \[ \theta = 60^\circ \] ### Final Answer: The angle which the force makes with the direction of motion of the body is \( 60^\circ \). ---
