Hello!

Answer:
7918 J

Step-by-step explanation:

We are assuming that the floor (field) is completely horizontal since there's no information about that in the statement.

We are going to use the following formula:


W= F . Cos \alpha . D

Where:


F=214 N

\alpha =0º

D= 37m

Then, by substituting we have:


W=214N . Cos (0).37m= 7918 N.m=7918 J
