If he walks F=600N 400m along the track, how much work does he do? uA Take g = 10Nkg™*. The man must use an upwards force equal and opposite to his weight to climb up the track. The man’s weight = mg = 60kg x 10Nkg™' = 600N, so the upwards force = 600N. ‘The distance moved in the direction of this force is the vertical height h bed up the track (not the length of the track). In the triangle h sin 30° h=Isin30° h = 400m x 0.5 = 200m Work done = vertical force x vertical distance Work = 600N x 200m 1
