A bodybuilder pulls a tyre with a force of at an elevation of to the horizontal.
1- If he is able to pull for 25 metres, calculate the work done by the bodybuilder.
Calculate the work done by the bodybuilder.
The work done by a force at an angle is given by .
Here, , , and .2- Provided that the tyre was initially at rest and there is an additional frictional force of :
Part a
Determine the work required to overcome the frictional force.
Calculate the work done against friction.
The work done against friction is .
Here, and .
Part b
Using the kinetic energy theorem, deduce the kinetic energy the bodybuilder provides the tyre.
Apply the Work-Energy Theorem to find the kinetic energy.
The net work done on the tyre is the work done by the bodybuilder minus the work done against friction. This net work equals the change in kinetic energy (). Since the tyre starts from rest, the initial kinetic energy is 0.
So, the kinetic energy provided to the tyre is:
Part c
Calculate the tyre's velocity. Take .
Calculate the velocity using the kinetic energy formula.
The kinetic energy is given by . We are given and .
