Question
A child pulls a wagon on level ground a distance of 4.24 mm using a rope connected to the front of the wagon. Due to the relative heights of the child and the wagon, the rope is oriented at an angle of 31.5º from the horizontal. If the tension in the rope is 18.2 N, how much work does the child do in pulling the wagon over the stated distance?
