Work by a Constant Force

A block of mass 100 kg100\text{ kg} slides over a distance of 10 m10\text{ m} on a horizontal surface. If the co-efficient of friction between the surfaces is 0.4, then the work done against friction (in J(\text{in } J) is:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Friction f=μmg=0.4×100×10=400f = \mu mg = 0.4 \times 100 \times 10 = 400 N
  2. Work against friction W=fd=400×10=4000W = f d = 400 \times 10 = 4000 J
  3. So the answer is (d) 4000 (taking g=10 m/s2g = 10\text{ m/s}^2).
