Answer:
7.1 J
Explanation:
From the question,
Work done by the mover = work done in pushing the crate + work done against friction
W = W’+Wf…………….. Equation 1
W = mgd+mgμd………… Equation 2
W = mgd(1+μ)……………. Equation 3
Where m = mass of the crate, g = acceleration due to gravity, d = distance, μ = coefficient of friction.
Given: m = 46 kg, d = 10.5 mm = 0.0105 m, μ = 0.5
constant: g = 9.8 m/s²
Substitute these values into equation 3
W = 46×9.8×0.0105(1+0.5)
W = 7.1 J
