Answer:
W = 29.5 J
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that,
Force acting on a freight cart is 59 pounds
We need to find the work done in moving the cart 80 feet if the cart’s handle makes an angle of 30° with the ground. The product of force and displacement is called work done. It can be written by :
[tex]W=F_x\times d[/tex]
[tex]F_x[/tex] is the horizontal component of force
[tex]W=59\times \cos30\times 80\\W= -29.5\ J[/tex]
So, the magnitude of work done by the cart is 29.5 J.
