the force is the component of the pulling force that is acting in the horizontal direction. So,W = 2.4 * 10^2 * cos 20 * 8 = 1804.b) The normal force here has two parts,i) the normal reaction of the refrigerator = mg = 85 * 9.......
A 2.40 x 102 N force is pulling an 85.0 kg refrigerator across a horizontal surface. The force acts at an angle of 20.0 above the surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.200, and the refrigerator moves a distance of 8.00 m. Determine the following:
a) The work done by the pulling force.
b) The normal force.
c) The force of friction.
d) The work done by the force of friction.

-
a) The work done by the pulling force is given by

W = Force * displacement
Here, the force is the component of the pulling force that is acting in the horizontal direction. So,

W = 2.4 * 10^2 * cos 20 * 8 = 1804.2 J

b) The normal force here has two parts,
i) the normal reaction of the refrigerator = mg = 85 * 9.81 = 833. 85 N
ii) the vertical component of the pulling force = 2.4 * 10^2 * sin20 = 82.10 N

Normal force = 833.85 + 82.1 = 915.95 N

c) The frictional force = μ * Normal force = 0.2 * 915.95 = 183.19 N

d) The frictional force acts in the opposite direction to the motion, and here, I am assigning the positive direction to the right, in the dirction of the horizontal component of the pullig force. So

Work done by frictional force = - (183.19 * 8) = - 1465.12 N

-
a) The work done by the pulling force = 240*(cos 20)*8.0 = 1804 J
b) The normal force = 85*9.8 - 240*sin 20 = 751N
c) The force of friction. = 751*0.2 = 150 N
d) The work done by the force of friction. = -150*8 = -1200 N
