- A bag of sand which acts as a counter weight for a stage set is suspended vertically by a rope of length L = 6.00 m and has a mass m = 109 kg. If a stagehand pushes the bag of sand a distance d = 2.00 m sideways from its initial position, determine the following. (a) the horizontal force needed in order to hold the bag at this position (b) the amount of work done on the bag by gravity as the stagehand pushes it to this position (Include the sign of the value in your answer.) (c) the amount of work done by the stagehand as he pushes the bag to this position (Include the sign of the value in your answer.) Explaine each step, so I can use it for study purposes.arrow_forwardA warehouse worker pushes a crate across a rough floor. A frictional force of 22.5 N acts to oppose the motion of the crate, and the worker pushes with a horizontal force of 40.6 N. If the total work done by the worker on the crate is 98.0 J, through what distance did the worker push the crate?arrow_forwardA sled with total mass m = 46.3 kg is pulled a distance d = 17.1 m across a horizontal surface for which the corficcient of kinetic friction with the sled is = 0.196. The pulling force is constant and makes an angle = 31.2° above the horizontal and the sled moves at a constant velocity. Find an expression for the work done by the pulling force in terms of m, acceleration due to gravity g, 0, Hk, and d, and use it find the work done in Joules by the pulling force. Find an expression for the work done on the sled by friction in terms of m, acceleration due to gravity g, 8, HK, and d, and use it to find the work done in Joules by the friction force. What is the net work in Joules done on the sled?arrow_forward
