Exercise 4.12.19 A girl drags a sled for 200 feet along the ground by pull<strong>in</strong>g on a rope which is 30 degrees<br />

from the horizontal with a force of 20 pounds. How much work does this force do?<br />

Exercise 4.12.20 A large dog drags a sled for 300 feet along the ground by pull<strong>in</strong>g on a rope which is 45<br />

degrees from the horizontal with a force of 20 pounds. How much work does this force do?<br />

Exercise 4.12.21 How much work does it take to slide a crate 20 meters along a load<strong>in</strong>g dock by pull<strong>in</strong>g<br />

on it with a 200 Newton force at an angle of 30 ◦ from the horizontal? Express your answer <strong>in</strong> Newton<br />

meters.<br />

Exercise 4.12.22 An object moves 10 meters <strong>in</strong> the direction of ⃗j. There are two forces act<strong>in</strong>g on this<br />

object, ⃗F 1 =⃗i +⃗j + 2 ⃗ k, and ⃗F 2 = −5⃗i + 2⃗j − 6 ⃗ k. F<strong>in</strong>d the total work done on the object by the two forces.<br />

H<strong>in</strong>t: You can take the work done by the resultant of the two forces or you can add the work done by each<br />

force. Why?<br />

Exercise 4.12.23 An object moves 10 meters <strong>in</strong> the direction of ⃗j +⃗i. There are two forces act<strong>in</strong>g on this<br />

object, ⃗F 1 =⃗i + 2⃗j + 2 ⃗ k, and ⃗F 2 = 5⃗i + 2⃗j − 6 ⃗ k. F<strong>in</strong>d the total work done on the object by the two forces.<br />

H<strong>in</strong>t: You can take the work done by the resultant of the two forces or you can add the work done by each<br />

force. Why?<br />

Exercise 4.12.24 An object moves 20 meters <strong>in</strong> the direction of ⃗ k +⃗j. There are two forces act<strong>in</strong>g on this<br />

object, ⃗F 1 =⃗i +⃗j + 2 ⃗ k, and ⃗F 2 =⃗i + 2⃗j − 6 ⃗ k. F<strong>in</strong>d the total work done on the object by the two forces.<br />

H<strong>in</strong>t: You can take the work done by the resultant of the two forces or you can add the work done by each<br />

force.
