Problem

Four students pull the same trolley under the following conditions: A: 10 N10\,\text{N} force, 6 m6\,\text{m} displacement, angle 30∘30^\circ between force and displacement. B: 15 N15\,\text{N} force, 4 m4\,\text{m} displacement, angle 60∘60^\circ between force and displacement. C: 12 N12\,\text{N} force, 5 m5\,\text{m} displacement, angle 120∘120^\circ between force and displacement. D: 8 N8\,\text{N} force, 8 m8\,\text{m} displacement, force along displacement. Rank the cases A, B, C and D in descending order of the work done by the applied force.
