Work We are all familiar with the concept of work in both a physical and scientific manner. For example, when one pushes or pulls an object. It takes work! In fact, the more you pull or push (exert a force) the greater the work and the farther you push or pull it (greater displacement), the greater the work. So it is clear that work depends on both the force and displacement. It is directly proportional. W α F and W α d Work is done when a force is exerted on an object causing the object to move in the direction of a component of the applied force. W = Fd Where F is the vector quantity force measured in Newtons (N) d is the vector quantity displacement measured in metres (m) W is the scalar quantity Work measured in Joules (J) Work is a scalar quantity because it is the product of two vectors. One Joule is the amount of work done by a force of 1 N acting through a displacement of 1 m. An interesting point is that if there is no displacement, there is no work even if a force is applied. So, pushing a concrete wall may tire you out because you apply a large force, but no work is done. Example 1) How much work would be done by lifting a 50.0 kg bag of flour 1.25 above the ground. Positive and Negative Work Work can be both positive or negative. However, work is a scalar quantity so the negative/positive does NOT imply the direction of the work, exactly. Work is POSITIVE if the FORCE (or a component of force) is in the SAME direction as the DISPLACEMENT. Work is NEGATIVE if the FORCE (or a component of force) is in the OPPOSITE direction as the DISPLACEMENT. Work is ZERO if the FORCE (or a component of force) is PERPENDICULAR to the DISPLACEMENT. Example 2) Peter is bench pressing a barbell that has a weight of 710 N. What work is done when he raises the barbell a distance of 0.6 m above his chest? Is it positive or negative? What work is done when he lowers the barbells? Is it positive or negative? Example 3) A person is pulling a mass to the right at a constant speed with a force of 10 N for a distance of 2 m. What is the work done by the person? What is the work done by friction? Free-body Diagrams and Work and Force at an Angle You’ll recall from our work in projectile and circular motion; the force component that is parallel to the motion will change the magnitude of the velocity whereas the perpendicular component will not affect the magnitude. The same is true for work. Example 4) A 15 kg crate is being pulled to the right by a force of 20 N over 25 m. The force is applied at an angle of 35° above the horizontal. The kinetic friction is 5 N. Draw a free-body diagram. What is the work done by each force acting on the crate? Total Work = ∑W OR Total Work = FNETd Example 5) A 20 kg crate is pushed 50 m along a horizontal floor by a constant force of 100 N 23° below the horizontal and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.25. Determine the total work done. What do you notice about the parallel component of the force in each of the last two examples?
