Question

I push a box with mass 10 kg across a 15 m room. If I apply a force of 20N to do this how much work is being done on the box?

Answer 1

Work done by applied force is given by

`W = F.d`

here we know that

F = applied force

d = displacement

now we know that

`F = 20 N`

`displacement = 15 m`

now work done is given as

`W = (20)(15) = 300 J`

so your work done to move the box will be 300 J
