The amount of work done by Denise to darg her basket of laudry of mass 5.0 kg is 75 J.

What is work?

Work can be defined as the product of force and distance.

To calculate the amount of work Denise must do to drag the basket, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • W = Fdcos∅........... Equation 1

Where:

  • W = Work done by Denise
  • F = Force applied to the basket
  • d = Distance
  • ∅ = Angle to the horizontal

From the question,

Given:

  • F = 30 N
  • d = 5 m
  • ∅ = 60°

Substitute these values into equation 2

  • W = 30×5×cos60°
  • W = 30×5×0.5
  • W = 75 J

Hence, the work done by Denise is 75 J.
