You are loading a refrigerator weighing 2267 N onto a truck, using a wheeled cart. The refrigerator is raised 1.09 m to the truck bed when it is rolled up a ramp. (Assume that there is no frictional force between the refrigerator and the ramp.)(a) Calculate the minimum work that must be done by the force you apply and the magnitude of the force if the ramp is at an angle with the horizontal of 45.0°.

Answer:

a).

Wmin= 2471.03 J

W=1603.01 J

Explanation:

Weight, w= 2267 N

[tex]w= m*g\\W=m*g*h \\W=w*h[/tex]

Minimum work 'h' is the distance the refrigerator is raised h=1.09m

[tex]W_{min}=2267 N* 1.09m\\W_{min}=2471.03 J[/tex]

The motion is no frictional force so, the magnitude of the force with a angle of 45.0° is find using:

[tex]W=m*g*h'\\h'= sin(45)\\W=2267N*sin(45)\\W=1603.01 J[/tex]
