Answer:
The work done is doubled
Step-by-step explanation:
The work done on an object by a force is (assuming the force is parallel to the displacement of the object)
W = Fd
where
W is the work done
F is the magnitude of the force
d is the displacement of the object
In this problem:
- the force applied is the same
- the displacement of the object is doubled, d' = 2d
So the new work done will be
W' = Fd' = F(2d) = 2 (Fd) = 2 W
So, the work done is doubled.
