A block with a mass of 2kg is pushed 20cm and a constant speed up an incline that makes a 40 degree angle with the floor. how much work is done by gravity on the block ? let d be the displacement of the block.

Respuesta :

work done will be 2.5872 J

Given :

mass of block = 2kg

distance travelled by block = 20cm

angle of inclination = 40°

To Find :

Work done by gravity

Solution :

Gravity is defined as the force that attracts a body towards the earth or towards any other physical body having mass.

work done by gravity is mgh

If θ is the angle made when the body falls, the work done by gravity is given by,

W = m g h cosθ

W = 2 x 9.8 x 0.2 x cos40°

= 2.5872 J

So work done will be 2.5872 J
