Abulldozer does 4,500 j of work to push a mound of soil to the top of a ramp that is 15 m high. the ramp is at an angle of 35° to the ground. how much force did the bulldozer apply to the mound of soil? round your answer to two significant figures.

Answer

Force = 170 N

Explanation

First find the distance (d) travelled by the bulldozer.

Sin 35 = 15/d

d = 15/(sin 35)

= 26.15m

Now;

work done = force × distance.

4500 J = force × 26.15

dividing both sides by 26.15,

Force = 4500/26.15

= 172.07 N

Answer to two significant figures = 170 N

dec 23, 2016 - a load of bricks weighing 680 n a distance of 10 m across a parking lot. if if the worker pushes the cart with a constant force of 209 n, what work= force x distance = 220 n x 10 m = 2200 n.m = 2200 j i don't know where the person got it from, but the initial part, work= force x distance me.
