Question 82

A rescue worker pulls a heavy supply sled along a flat, horizontal snowy path.

a.

State the relationship between work done, force, and distance moved in the direction of the force.

[1]
b.

The rescue worker pulls with a constant horizontal force of 240 N240\text{ N}240 N and moves the sled 45 m45\text{ m}45 m. Calculate the work done moving the sled.

[2]
c.

State the amount of energy transferred during this movement.

[1]
d.

The rescue worker stops and holds a heavy mechanical lever horizontally to support a boulder.

A horizontal lever pivoted at its left end with a 720 N weight and an upward force F.

Describe where the centre of gravity of the boulder is located with reference to the 720 N weight arrow.

[1]
e.

State the equation linking moment, force, and perpendicular distance from the pivot.

[1]
f.

Calculate the upward force FFF exerted by the rescue worker to hold the lever in this position.
