If you exert a force of 10.0 n to lift a box a distance of 0.9 m how much work do you do

A bit vague since it's not clear whether the applied force is in the same direction as the box's displacement. But let's assume it is. Then the work done is:

W = Fd

W = work, F = force, d = displacement

Given values:

F = 10.0N, d = 0.9m

Plug in and solve for W:

W = 10.0(0.9)

W = 9J
