Answer: work = 1,305kJ
Explanation:
angle= 30°
force= 1,500N
distance= 1,000m
The formula for work is : Work= force x distance, however there is an angle of 30° between the direction of force applied and the direction of motion, therefore force must be decomposed to its value on the horizontal axis which is the direction of motion by using the cosine of the very angle.
W= F×cos(α)×D
W= 1,500×cos (30)×1,000
W= 1,305kJ ( kilojoules)
