Bob borrows a lunch tray of negligible mass to push Will on the tray across a level portion of the field. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the tray and the grass is 0.25 and the coefficient of static friction is 0.30. Will is pushed 40m across the field by Bob at a constant speed, but Bob is so tall that he pushes with a force of 40 degrees below the horizontal. Will gained some weight during quarantine, so he now weighs 120kg. a) What power does Bob need to move Will across the field in 20sec? b) What could Bob do to decrease the work he needs to push Will across the field without decreasing his force?

Question

Bob borrows a lunch tray of negligible mass to push Will on the tray across a level portion of the field. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the tray and the grass is 0.25 and the coefficient of static friction is 0.30. Will is pushed 40m across the field by Bob at a constant speed, but Bob is so tall that he pushes with a force of 40 degrees below the horizontal. Will gained some weight during quarantine, so he now weighs 120kg.

a) What power does Bob need to move Will across the field in 20sec?

b) What could Bob do to decrease the work he needs to push Will across the field without decreasing his force?
