Work - Example Problem 7.1-7
A bushing slides on a shaft that forms a 20o angle with respect to the x-axis. A constant force F = 5i + 4j N acts on the bushing. Determine the work the force performs on the bushing if it moves a total distance of 2 m along the shaft.
Given:
- θ = 20o
- F = 5i + 4j N
- d = 2m
Find: UF
