A gardener pushes a lawn roller through a distance \(20 \mathrm{~m}\). If he applies a force of \(30 \mathrm{~kg}-\mathrm{wt}\) in a direction inclined at \(60^{\circ}\) to the ground, the work done by the gardener in pushing the roller is
\([\mathrm{g}=9.8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2, \sin 30^{\circ}=\cos 60^{\circ}=\frac{1}{2}, \cos 30^{\circ}=\) \(\sin 60^{\circ}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}]\)

  1. A \(3640 \mathrm{~J}\)
  2. B \(2460 \mathrm{~J}\)
  3. C \(3940 \mathrm{~J}\)
  4. D \(2940 \mathrm{~J}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(2940 \mathrm{~J}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Consider the diagram below:

\(\mathrm{W}=\mathrm{F} \Delta \mathrm{S} \cos (\theta)\)
\(\mathrm{W}=\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}} \cdot \overrightarrow{\Delta \mathrm{S}}=\mathrm{F} \Delta \mathrm{S} \cos 60^{\circ}=30 \times(9.8) 20 \times \frac{1}{2}=2940 \mathrm{~J}\)
