10.A 600 kg great white shark is lurking below an observation cage. His movement is
being studied from a series of motion sensors below the boat. The shark leisurely
charges the cage, strikes it and makes the cage rattle. Later, the shark returns for
another run at the cage. The shark strikes the cage with 12,800 N of force. The
shark traveled for 10 m in making its run. The cage is designed to withstand
124,500 J of "work" before it breaks. Should the man in the cage be worried?
Explain.

The work done by the shark is 128000 J which is greater than the maximum force the cage can withstand (124500 J), the man in the cage should be worried.

What is work done?

Work done is the product of force and the distance covered by the force.

Mathematically;

  • Work done = Force × distance

The unit of work done is Joules.

The work done by the shark is calculated as follows:

Work done = 12800 × 10

Work done = 128000 J

Maximum force the can withstand = 124500 J

Since the work done by the shark is greater than the maximum force the cage can withstand, the man in th cage should be worried.
