Question
A force of 30 N acts on a body and moves it through a distance of 5 m in the direction of force. Calculate the work done by the force.

Solution
F = 30 N
d= 5m
Work done = w = F × d
W = 30 × 5= 150 J

A truck driver can load oil drums into the back of the truck by pushing them up a sloping plank, or by lifting them directly. Each drum has a mass of 80 kg, the plank is 3 m long, and the back of the truck is 0.8 m above the ground.
