Answer:
1.056 x 10⁷ lb-ft
Explanation:
v = Speed of the bike = 20 mph
t = time of travel = 2 h
d = distance traveled by cyclist
Distance traveled by cyclist is given as
d = v t
d = (20) (2)
d = 40 miles
We know that, 1 mile = 5280 ft
d = 40 (5280) ft
d = 211200 ft
F = force applied by cyclist = 50 lb
W = work done by cyclist
Work done by cyclist is given as
W = F d
W = (50) (211200)
W = 1.056 x 10⁷ lb-ft
