Alawn mower is pushed a distance of 100 ft. along a horizontal path by a constant force of 60 lbs. yhe handle of the lawn mower is held at a downward angle of 45° toward the horizontal. explain what each value in this situation represents in relation to the formula w=f•pq=||f||•||pq||costheta. then find the work done pushing the lawn mower

For this case we have the following equation:
 w = F • PQ
 Where,
 w: work done
 F: is the force vector
 PQ: is the vector of the direction of movement.
 Rewriting the equation we have:
 w = || F || • || PQ || costheta
 Substituting values:
 w = (60) * (100) * (cos (45))
 w = (60) * (100) * (root (2) / 2)
 w = 4242.640687 lb.ft
 
 The work done pushing the lawn mower is:
 w = 4242.6 lb.ft

1.3 and 1 1/3 are both closest to 1. hope this ; )
