Given data:
Mass of safe, m=344 kg
Angle of inclination, θ = 24 0
Distance, d=37 m
To determine:
b) Work done by the gravitational force.
c) Work done by the cable.
Explanation:
b) Work done by the gravitational force can be calculated as follows:
W = m g d sin θ W = ( 344   k g ) ( 9.8   m / s 2 ) ( 37   m ) sin 24 0 W = 50734   J
c) Work done by the cable can be given as:
W = ( 50734 J ) W = 50734 J
Answer:
b) Work done by the gravitational force is −50734 J.
c) Work done by the cable is 50734 J.
