Problem 53
Question
Find the work done in pushing a car along a level road from point \(A\) to point \(B, 80\) feet from \(A,\) while exerting a constant force of 95 pounds. Round to the nearest foot-pound.
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The work done in pushing the car along a level road from point \(A\) to point \(B\) is 7600 foot-pounds
1Step 1: Identify the given values
The force exerted to push the car is constant at 95 pounds. The distance the car is moved is 80 feet.
2Step 2: Apply the formula for work
The formula for work done (W) is \(W = Fd\), where 'F' is the force and 'd' is the distance. In this case, \(F = 95\) pounds and \(d = 80\) feet. Thus substituting these values we get \(W = 95 * 80\).
3Step 3: Calculate the work done
Upon computation, \(W = 7600\) foot-pounds. Rounding it to the nearest foot-pound, we get 7600 as the work done.
