A force F at an angle θ above the horizontal is used to pull a heavy suitcase of weight mg a distance d along a level floor at constant velocity. The coefficient of friction between the floor and the suitcase is µ. The work done by the frictional force is:

• – µFdcosθ

• –Fdcosθ

• –µmgd

• –µmgdcosθ

A pendulum bob of mass m on a cord of length L is pulled sideways until the cord makes an angle θ with the vertical as shown in the figure to the right. The change in potential energy of the bob during the displacement is:

• mgL(1–cos θ)

• mgL(1–sin θ)

• mgLsinθ

• mgLcosθ
