Answer:

Work done, W = 36 joules

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Force acting on carton, F = 3 N

This force is required to move a carton to a distance of 12 meters

We have to find the work done of the system. It is given by the product of force and distance i.e.

W = F. d


W=3\ N* 12\ m

W = 36 Joules

So, the work done is 36 joules. Hence, the correct option is (d) ''36 joules''.
