Given :
A mover slides a refrigerator weighing 650 N at a constant velocity across the floor a distance of 8.1 m.
The force of friction between the refrigerator and the floor is 230 N.
To Find :
How much work has been performed by the mover on the refrigerator.
Solution :
Since, refrigerator is moving with constant velocity.
So, force applied by the mover is also 230 N ( equal to force of friction ).
Now, work done in order to move the refrigerator is :
[tex]W = Force\times distance\\\\W = 230 \times 8.1\ N\ m\\\\W = 1863\ N\ m[/tex]
Hence, this is the required solution.
