If what you want to do is calculate the work, you need to multiply the force times the displacement.

Why does work done by centripetal force is zero?

An object moves in a circle at constant speed. The work done by the centripetal force is zero because: 1. the displacement for each revolution is zero 2. the average force for each revolution is zero 3. there is no friction 4. the magnitude of the acceleration is zero 5. the centripetal force is perpendicular to the velocity

Which is the greater force 10 newtons or 5 pounds?

A 10 newton force is approximately 2.25 pounds-force, so the 5 pound force is greater.


A girl pushes on a table with a 5-newton force directed to the east. Her friend pushes on the same table with a 10-newton force directed south. Which of the following diagrams best depicts the action?

The diagram showing the 5-newton force pointing east and the 10-newton force pointing south, where the two forces are perpendicular to each other, would best depict the situation.


A boy weighing 30 kg carries a load of 10 kg on his head and moves straight through a distance 5 m on a horizontal floor What is the work done by the boy?

The work done by the boy carrying the load on his head is zero, because the force applied is perpendicular to the displacement. Work is only done when the force and displacement are in the same direction.


What would be the net force of an object 10 newton and 15 newton acting in opposite directions of an object?

5 N


When A force of 5 newton is acting parallel to the moment arm of 10 cm . so what is torque?

In order for a force to produce a torque, either all of it, or a part of it (component) must act perpendicular to the moment arm. If, as in your case, all of the force is parallel to the moment arm then the force can not produce a torque. So the answer is; the torque is zero.


What the reletion between si and cgs unit of force?

The CGS unit of force is the dyne, while the SI unit of force is the newton. 1 newton is equal to 10^5 dynes.


When force increases by 5 times what happens to work?

If force increases by 5 times, then work will also increase by 5 times, assuming the displacement remains constant. This is because work is directly proportional to the force applied.


How much work is being done if it takes 5 Newtons to push a cart down a 15 meter hallway?

Work = Force*Displacement Therefore, work in this case is 5*15 = 75 J.


Unit that measures force is called what?

the SI unit of force is the newton (symbol N), which is the force required to accelerate a one kilogram mass at a rate of one meter per second squared. It is equivalent to SI kgms-2. Any other unit of force can be derived from the formula F = ma and substituting whatever units are being for those variables.Some other units of force:1 dyne = 10-5 N1 kilogram - force (kgf) or kilopound (kp) = 9.80665 N = 1 metric slug1 lbf = 32.174 poundals = 1 slug1 kgf = 2.2046 lbf


What is the net force of 5.0 N force and an 8.0 N force acting in opposite dirrection?

You can't, unless you know both of their directions. -- If they're in the same direction, then the net force is 10N in that same direction. -- If they're in opposite directions, then the net force is zero, and the direction doesn't matter because there's no net force. -- Depending on their directions, those two forces can combine to produce a net force of anything between zero and 10 N, in any direction. So you need to know their directions in order to figure out what the net force is.
