The work done by each of the clowns to move 345 kg crate 12.5 m to the right across a smooth floor is,

The work done by the Moe is 6687.5 J.The work done by the Larry is -2812.5 J.The work done by the Larry is -2812.5 J.What is work done?

Work done is the force applied on a body to move it over a distance. Work done to move a body by the application of force can be given as,

$W=Fd\cos\theta$

Here (F) is the magnitude of force, $\theta$ is the angle of force applied and (d) is the distance traveled.

The mass of the crate is 345 kg. The crate moved by the clowns is 12.5 m to the right across a smooth floor.

Moe pushes to the right with a force of 535 N-

As, the Moe applies the force to the crate on the right side and the crate move in the direction of force. Here, the angle made is equal to the 0 degrees.

Therefore, the work done by the Moe is,

$W=535\times12.5\times\cos (0)\\W=6687.5\rm J$

thus, the work done by the Moe is 6687.5 J.

Larry pushes to the left with 225 N. -

As, the Larry applies the force to the crate on the left side and the crate move in the opposite direction of force. Here, the angle made is equal to the 180 degrees.

Therefore, the work done by the Larry is,

$W=225\times12.5\times\cos (180)\\W=-2812.5\rm J$

thus, the work done by the Larry is -2812.5 J.

Curly pushes straight down with 705 N.-

As, the Curly applies the force to the crate on the straight down and the crate move in the perpendicular direction of force. Here, the angle made is equal to the 90 degrees.

Therefore, the work done by the Curly is,

$W=705\times12.5\times\cos (90)\\W=0\rm J$

thus, the work done by the Curly is 0 J.

Thus, the work done by each of the clowns to move 345 kg crate 12.5 m to the right across a smooth floor is,

The work done by the Moe is 6687.5 J.The work done by the Larry is -2812.5 J.The work done by the Larry is -2812.5 J.

Answer from: bay97

Moe: 6687.5 J, Larry: -2812.5 J, Curly: 0 J

Explanation:

The work done by each clown is given by:

$W=Fd cos \theta$

where

F is the magnitude of the force applied

d is the displacement of the box

$\theta$ is the angle between the direction of the force and of the displacement

Let's apply the formula to each clown:

- Moe: F = 535 N, d = 12.5 m, $\theta=0^{\circ}$ (because Moe pushes to the right, and the box also moves to the right)

$W=(535)(12.5)cos 0^{\circ}=6687.5 J$

- Larry: F = 225 N, d = 12.5 m, $\theta=180^{\circ}$ (because Larry pushes to the left, while the box moves to the right)

$W=(225)(12.5)cos 180^{\circ}=-2812.5 J$

- Curly: F = 705 N, d = 12.5 m, $\theta=90^{\circ}$ (because Curly pushes downward, while the box moves to the right)

$W=(705)(12.5)cos 90^{\circ}=0$

Answer from: Quest

the box does not move because you need to use a force greater than 300 n. you are only using 50 n. it needs to at least be 301 n for the box to move because then it is an unbalanced force and it will move the way that the greater force is pushing it. if you use only 300 n it will be a balanced force and will not move because the force you are exerting on the box is the same as its force.

hope this !

im sorry if i went too in depth, i am going to include a link to a video on khan academy that will explain this. hope that you like the video and that it explains more in detail to you.

that is the link.

You and a friend (alex) are at a a tree-top adventure park .. . part of the course requires you to climb up a rope. you both climb the same rope in the same amount of time. however, the tension in the rope is greater when alex climbs. who did the most work? alex did - more tension means more force - more force means more work was done you did - less tension means less force - less force means more work was done to find the work done, the force exerted and distance moved are multiplied. a couch is moved twice before you are happy with its placement. the same force was used to move the couch both times. if more work is done the first time it is moved, what do you know about the distance it was moved? when more work was done, the couch was moved less. when more work was done, the couch was moved further. when more work was done, the couch wasn't moved at all. when more work was done, the couch was moved the same distance.
