How much work does an elephant do while moving a circus wagon 23 meters with a pulling force of 250n at an angle of 38 degrees?

The work done on the wagon is, W = 4531 J

Explanation:

Given data,

The displacement of the circus wagon, S = 23 m

The elephant pulled with a force, Fₐ = 250 N

The angle of direction of force with the horizontal, Ф = 38°

Therefore, the force in the horizontal direction is,

                                       F = Fₐ Cos Ф

The work done on the wagon is

                                       W = F · S

                                            = Fₐ Cos Ф · S

                                            = Fₐ · S · Cos Ф

                                             = 250 · 23 · Cos 38°

                                              = 4531 J

Hence, the work done on the wagon is, W = 4531 J
