Answer:

w = 400 joules

Step-by-step explanation:

Work done is the force that causes the displacement of an object. Work done is the product of force and distance. A force acting on an object is only regarded as a work done if the object has an appreciable displacement.

Mathematically,

Work = force × distance

force = 40 Newton

distance = 10 m

W = 40 × 10

w = 400 joules
