Question

The work done in pulling up a block of wood weighing 2 kN for a length of 10 m on a smooth plane inclined at an angle of 15° with the horizontal is

  • 9.82 kJ

  • 89 kJ

  • 4.35 kJ

  • 5.17 kJ

Answer

D.

5.17 kJ

Here :- Weight of block;ω = 2kN; Distance d =10m

Angle of inclination on the plane α =150

The block will be pulled up on a smooth plane

Hence,force of resistance due to the inclination 

F =ωsinα = 2×103×Sin 150

=2×103×0.2588

=0.5176 kN

Now work done W = force×displacement =0.1576×103×10=5.17kJ
