Question 11 Mark
A girl applies a force of 50 N, in pushing a table such that work done by her is 25 J. Calculate the displacement produced in the table.
Answer
Force (F) = 50N
Work done (W) = 25J
Work done (W) = Fx
25 = 50x
x = 25/50
x = 0.5 m

Question 21 Mark
A boy does a work of 800 J is dragging a sack of rice through a distance of 10 m. What is the magnitude of force applied by the boy?
Answer
Work done (W) = 800J
Displacement (S) = 10m
Work done (W) = F × S
800 = F × 10m
F = 80N

Question 31 Mark
A force of 25 N causes a displacement of 4 m in its own direction. What is the magnitude of work done?
Answer
Force (F) = 25N
Displacement (S) = 4m
Work done (W) = F × S
= 25N × 4m
W= 100 J
