A 5 kg block is pushed 4 m up a frictionless incline at 30° with a force parallel to the incline. If the work done is 200 J, what is the force applied?
Correct answer: B. 50 N
- A. 25 N
- B. 50 N
- C. 75 N
- D. 100 N
Explanation
Work = F × d × cosθ. Here, θ = 0° (force parallel to incline), so 200 = F × 4 × 1, F = 200 / 4 = 50 N.

About Work and Energy
Work transfers energy when a force causes displacement, while kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy and power describe motion, position and the rate of energy transfer. The work-energy theorem links net work with change in kinetic energy, and efficiency accounts for energy losses rather than treating them as energy destruction.
