A woman exerts a horizontal force of 1 pounds on a box as she pushes it up a ramp that is 2 feet long and inclined at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal. Find the work done on the box in ft -lbs.

W = fs cos(theta)

s?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

displacement?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so force * displacement * cos(theta)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

work done = force times distance the force parallel to the slope of the ramp 1 * cos 30 degrees work done = cos 30 * 2 ft lbs
