Question

Spiderman, whose mass is 80kg, is dangling on the free end of 10m-long spider web rope, the other end of which is fixed to a tree branch. He swings back and forth, expending enough energy to reach a 52o angle with the vertical. How much work did gravity do on Spidey?

Explanation / Answer

mass of the spiderman,m=80 kg

length of the rope,l=10m

angle expended,a=52

Work done=Force*displacement

W=mgcos52*10m

W=80*9.8*cos52*10=4826.78 J
