Physics

To calculate the component of the force that is in the direction of the displacement, the formula for work is: W = Fdcos(θ)

We can rearrange the formula to solve for the angle:

where:

W is the work done,

F is the force applied,

d is the distance over which the force is applied,

θ is the angle between the force and the direction of displacement.

 

Given:

W = 700J

F = 40N

d = 35m

 

Plugging in the values, we get:
