Answer:

Workdone = 1435.2N/m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 240kg

Acceleration = 1.3m/s²

Distance = 4.6m

To find the force;

Force = mass* acceleration

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Force = 240 * 1.3

Force = 312N

Now, to find the workdone;

Workdone = force * distance

Workdone = 312 * 4.6

Workdone = 1435.2N/m
