Answer:

W = 40 J

Step-by-step explanation:

The work done by a force is defined as the dot product of the force and displacement of the object. Therefore, the following formula can be used to find the work done:


W = F.d = Fd Cos\theta\\

where,

W = Work Done = ?

F = Force = Weight of Block = 4 N

d = distance lifted = 10 m

θ = angle between force and displacement = 0°

Therefore,


W = (4\ N)(10\ m)(Cos\ 0^(0))

W = 40 J
