TopicWork done and energy
TypeWork done by constant force - find work done
DifficultyEasy -1.3 This is a straightforward application of the work formula W = Fs cos θ with all values given directly. It requires only substitution into a single formula (45 × 25 × cos 14°) with no problem-solving, making it significantly easier than average and purely procedural.
