The fork-lift truck lifts a crate of mass 64 kg through a vertical distance of 3.5 m in 4.0 s.
Calculate the useful work done in lifting the crate.

Respuesta :

Lanuel

The amount of work done by the fork-lift truck in lifting the crate is 2,195.2 Joules.

Given the following data:

  • Mass of crate = 64 kg.
  • Displacement = 3.5 meters.
  • Time = 4.0 s.

Scientific data:

  • Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 [tex]m/s^2[/tex].

To calculate the amount of work done by the fork-lift truck in lifting the crate:

How to calculate work done.

In Science, work done is generally calculated by multiplying force and the vertical distance or displacement experienced by an object.

Mathematically, work done is given by the formula:

[tex]Work\;done = force \times displacement = mgh[/tex]

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

[tex]Work\;done = 64 \times 9.8 \times 3.5[/tex]

Work done = 2,195.2 Joules.
