A person pushes horizontally on a heavy box and slides it across the level floor at constant velocity. The person pushes with a 60.0 N force for the first 16.4 m at which time he begins to tire. The force he exerts then starts to decrease linearly from 60.0 N to 0.00 N across the remaining 6.88 m. How much total work did the person do on the box

Over the first 16.4 m, the person performs

W = (60.0 N) (16.4 m) = 984 J

of work.

Over the remaining 6.88 m, they perform a varying amount of work according to

F(x) ≈ 60.0 N + (-8.72 N/m) x

where x is in meters. (-8.72 is the slope of the line segment connecting the points (0, 60.0) and (6.88, 0).) The work done over this interval can be obtained by integrating F(x) over the interval [0, 6.88 m] :

W = ∫₀⁶˙⁸⁸ F(x) dx ≈ 206.4 J

(Alternatively, you can plot F(x) and see that it's a triangle with base 6.88 m and height 60.0 N, so the work done is the same, 1/2 (6.88 m) (60.0 N) = 206.4 J.)

So the total work performed by the person on the box is

984 J + 206.4 J = 1190.4 J ≈ 1190 J

in simple terms, the principle states that the buoyancy force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object, or the density of the fluid multiplied by the submerged volume times the gravitational acceleration, g. this is also known as upthrust.

i dont know but

whoever your teacher is, deserves a raise for using pokemon as an example
