Question

a simple machine increases the distance that a force needs to be applied from 3 meters to 27 meters, and the work done is 216 joules. how much force is applied? (1 point) 9n 8n 81n 72n

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the work formula

Work \(W = F\times d\), where \(W\) is work, \(F\) is force, and \(d\) is distance.

Step2: Solve for force

We know \(W = 216\space J\) and \(d = 27\space m\). Rearranging the formula for \(F\) gives \(F=\frac{W}{d}\).
Substitute the values: \(F=\frac{216}{27}\).
Calculate \(\frac{216}{27}=8\).

Answer:

8 N
