Just use the basic definition of work. In the simplest case, the equation is:

work = force x distance

This implies that force is constant, and that the force acts in the direction of the movement. If the first assumption is not correct, integrals must be used; if the second assumption is not correct, only the component of the force in the direction of the movement must be considered, i.e., you take the dot product.

How much torque that car wheel need?

Sufficient to overcome the inertia and friction of the vehicle.


Is the friction is same for all the surfaces?

No, the friction between two surfaces depends on factors such as the roughness of the surfaces, the force pressing them together, and the materials involved. Different surfaces will have different coefficients of friction which determine how much force is required to overcome the friction between them.


When a fastener is torqued to specification approximately how much of the twisting force is required to overcome thread friction?

Approximately 90% of the twisting force is required to overcome thread friction when a fastener is torqued to specification. The remaining 10% of the force is used to stretch the fastener and create clamp load.


How is inertia related to friction?

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion, while friction is the force that resists motion when two surfaces are in contact. Inertia affects how much friction is needed to overcome the object's resistance to motion. Higher inertia means more friction is required to change the object's motion.


How much work is performed when a 50 pound weight is moved 5 feet?

Here is the equation: W = 1/2 m(v22 - v12) As you can see from this equation, it could vary a lot depending upon how fast you moved it, whether you moved it straight up, straight down, to the side, how much friction there was, if you used wheels to reduce friction, what surface it was on.


How much minimum torque is required by a turbine to generate Electricity?

initial torque to overcome the friction in generator and then to keep constant speed of stator within the generator. Minimum 50NM


If the gravity exerts 15 N and there is 10 N of friction how much force will Jim need to exert to move it?

Jim will need to exert at least 25 N of force to overcome both gravity and friction and move the object. This is calculated by adding the force of gravity (15 N) and the force of friction (10 N).


How much work did the movers do horizontally pushing a 150 kg crate 10.4 m across a rough floor without acceleration if the effective coefficient of friction was 0.70?

The work done by the movers can be calculated using the work-energy principle. The work done can be found by multiplying the force of friction by the distance the crate was moved. The force of friction is the product of the coefficient of friction and the normal force (weight of the crate). The work done will be equal to the force of friction multiplied by the distance moved.


The ratio of the resistance force to the effort force is called?

The ratio of resistance force to effort force is a mechanical advantage.


Why is the friction of rolling bodies less than that of sliding bodies?

Sliding friction is the force impeding movement as a result of two surfaces rubbing against one another. Imagine pushing a cardboard box of books across a concrete garage floor. Rolling friction refers to the frictional forces between a rolling tire and the pavement. The tire gets warm and an inflated tire rolls easier. The sliding friction is much more difficult to overcome than rolling friction.


Do you have to overcome rolling friction when you slide a bag of groceries across the countertop?

If the bag is sliding across the countertop (i.e., the same surface of the bag is always in contact with the counter), then no. Rolling friction is only relevant when the surface of an object in contact with the surface it moves across always changes.


How much work is done by a little girl using 300 N force pushing her little brother 750 M against 200 N of friction?

To calculate the work done, we need to consider the force applied by the girl minus the force of friction. The net force is 300N - 200N = 100N. Work done = force x distance. Therefore, the work done is 100N x 750m = 75,000 joules.
