    Force Pull Work
AI Thread Summary
To pull a wagon requires a force of 300 N, resulting in 2400 kJ of work when pulled 8 km. If the wagon is pulled for 40 minutes, the power output is calculated as 1 kW. When considering a scenario where the power is 5 kW over the same time period, the total work done amounts to 12000 kJ. This allows for the wagon to be pulled a distance of 120 kilometers under those conditions. Clarity in questions is essential for accurate calculations and responses.

To pull a wagon we need a force of 300 N. How much work is done if we pull the wagon 8 km?? And how much is the effect if the wagon is being pulled for 40 min.?? And if we pull the wagon for 40 min. and the effect is 5kw, how far can we pull the wagon?

"To pull a wagon we need a force of 300 N. How much work is done if we pull the wagon 8 km??"
Work done = 300N*8000meters = 2400KJ.

"And how much is the effect if the wagon is being pulled for 40 min.?? "
What is the effect?Power?
Power = work/time = 2400KJ/(40*60 seconds) = 1KW.
"And if we pull the wagon for 40 min. and the effect is 5kw, how far can we pull the wagon?"
Again, what do you mean by effect? Power?
If you want distance,
Power = work/time
5KW = work/(40*60sec)
work = 12000KJ.
Distance = work/force
= 12000KJ/300N = 120 Kilometers.
I tried my level best to understand your question. Be clear in what ever you want to ask.

Thread '1:1 versus 2:1 Mechanical Advantage debate'

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...

Thread 'Newton's first law?'

Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Hello! I have a question regarding a beam on an inclined plane. I was considering a beam resting on two supports attached to an inclined plane. I was almost sure that the lower support must be more loaded. My imagination about this problem is shown in the picture below. Here is how I wrote the condition of equilibrium forces: $$ \begin{cases} F_{g\parallel}=F_{t1}+F_{t2}, \\ F_{g\perp}=F_{r1}+F_{r2} \end{cases}. $$ On the other hand...
