Work Done, W = Fs
ii) Work is NOT DONE when there is no motion
or the force, F is perpendicular to the
distance, s (θ = 90°) .
Work Done, W = 0
iii) If the force, F at an angle, θ to the distance, s.
ANS: 73.575 Nm
b) A man applied a force of 100N to a wooden block at an angle of 30º to the
horizontal surface. If the block moves through a horizontal distance of 2.5m, find
the work done by the man.
ANS: 216.51 Nm
WHAT IS ENERGY ?
Definition - the capacity to do work.
SI Unit – Joule (J)
Ep = mgh
where: Ep = Potential Energy
m = mass
g = gravitational acceleration, 9.81ms-
2
Unit : Joule, J
Potential Energy
Depends on 2 variables:
i) mass of object
more massive objects will have greater gravitational
potential energy.
Given:
m=5.5 kg
h=
g=9.81ms-2
Anymoving object
where:
has kinetic energy. Ek = Kinetic Energy
m = mass of the body
v = velocity
Depends on 2
variables: Unit : Joule, J
• Mass of object
• Velocity of the object
Example 4.3.2
a) A 150 g bullet moves with a velocity of 200ms-1. Find the kinetic
energy of the bullet.
Answer
Given:
m=
v=200ms-1
ANS: 19.29 J
ANS: 1.78 kg
EXERCISE 4.3
c) A weightlifter lifts a load of 180 kg from the floor to a height of 2.5m above the
floor. Calculate the potential energy gained by the load.
ANS: 4414.50 J
d) A 6kg monkey climbs a coconut tree to pluck coconuts and gained 150 J of
potential energy. Determine the height of the monkey from the ground.
ANS: 2.55 m
4.3.3 Principle of Conversion of Energy
Law of conversion of energy state that:
energy cannot be created or destroyed
energy can be transformed from one form to another
total energy during the transformation is constant
Given:
m=0.1 kg
v= 20ms-1
Given:
h=12.5 m
g= 9.81ms-2
ANS: 7.67ms-1
4.4 WHAT IS POWER
Power : the rate at which work is done.
Given:
s=300m
F=4000N
t=
Power of the tractor,
Example 4.4
b) Naufal weighing 62 kg, runs up a flight of stairs of 40 steps. Each of the steps is
0.15 m high. Calculate the power generated by Naufal if he takes 15 s to reach the
top of the stairs.
Answer
ANS: 1798.50W
b) A 70 kg man climbs up a tree 7.2m tall in 35 s. calculate the power generated
by the man.
ANS: 141.26W
4.5 WHAT IS EFFICIENCY
Efficiency : the ratio of the useful output energy to the
total energy put into the machine

height of 1000 cm in 15 s. calculate the efficiency of the diesel motor.
Answer
Given:
Pinput = 4000 W
m = 450 kg
h = 1000 cm 10 m
t = 15 s
Exercise 4.5
a) A load of 370 kg is lifted by a crane to a height of 70 m in 18 s. if the input
power is 16 000 w, determine the efficiency of the motor used in the crane.
ANS: 88.22%
b) An electric motor with an efficiency of 75 % can lift a steel bar with a mass of
600 kg to a height of 12 m in 10 s. calculate the input power of the motor.
ANS: 9417.6 W
c) An electric motor has an output energy of 23 000 j per minute. Determine the
input power of the motor if the efficiency of the motor is 80%
