Work Power


1. Problem 10: Calculate the work done to slide a box up an inclined plane. Given data: - Force applied along the ramp: $F = 25$ N - Distance along the ramp (hypotenuse): $d = 20$ m Work done $W$ is calculated by the formula: $$W = F \times d$$ Calculating: $$W = 25 \times 20 = 500$$ Joules 2. Problem 11: Calculate the power required to lift a weight vertically. Given data: - Force to lift (weight): $F = 30.0$ N - Vertical height: $h = 10.0$ m - Time: $t = 5.00$ s Work done to lift the weight is: $$W = F \times h = 30.0 \times 10.0 = 300$$ Joules Power $P$ is the rate of doing work: $$P = \frac{W}{t} = \frac{300}{5.00} = 60$$ Watts Final answers: - Work to slide the box up the ramp: 500 Joules - Power to lift the weight: 60 Watts
