Q1Energy, Work and PowerFree sample

A load is pulled along horizontal ground for a distance of 76 m76\text{ m}, using a rope. The rope is inclined at 55^{\circ} above the horizontal and the tension in the rope is 65 N65\text{ N}.

(i)

Find the work done by the tension.

(ii)

At an instant during the motion the velocity of the load is 1.5 m s11.5\text{ m s}^{-1}.

Find the rate of working of the tension at this instant.
