Finding the Work done on a Ride?
The lift incline on the Batwing ride at Six Flags America, is 66.2 m long and has an incline of 32.0 degrees. How much work is done to take a 43 Kg child to the top of the hill?
W = FsCos
I don't know if this is the right formula to use!
If this is the right formula to use would the solution go like this:
F = 43 Kg x 9.81 m/s/s
F = 421.83N
W = FsCos
W = 421.83N x 66.2 m x (Cos 32)
W = 23681.8669
W = 24000 J
Is this right, or did I do this wrong? If I did do this wrong can someone help me?
