3. A force of 14 N is applied to a 2 kg mass over a distance of 6 meters. What work is done on the mass?
4. Ten Joules of work are used to push a box for 2 meters. What force was applied to the box?
5. A weightlifter lifts a 100 kg barbell 2 m above the ground. a. What force did he overcome to lift the barbell?
b. How much work did he do?
How does a lever work?
6. How much work is required to lift a 60 N object 2 meters?
Would it be possible to do the same work by only applying a 20 N force? How?
This is how levers and pulleys allow people to lift heavier loads than they would normally be able to.

Work at an angle
7. A little boy pulls a wagon with a force of 10 N at an angle of 30 degrees from the horizontal. If he pulls for 20 meters, how much work does he do?
8. A 10 kg crate is pulled 20 m across the floor by a rope making a 25 degree angle with the floor. A force of 200 N is applied to the rope and it takes 10 seconds for the crate to move across the floor. How much work is done?
9. As shown in the diagram, a 2 kg box is lifted up the stairs from point A to point B.
a. In what direction is the force one must apply to lift the box?
b. Which distance do you think you use? Calculate the work in lifting the box.

(2) is exerted by one team in a tug of war when there is no movement
(3) is exerted while pulling a wagon up a hill
(4) of gravitational attraction acts on a person standing on the surface of the Earth
