Answer : W = 450 J and P = 56.25 Watts

Explanation :

It is given that,

Force, F = 30 N

Distance, d = 15 m

Time, t = 8 sec

The work done is given as :

W = F.d


W=30\ N* 15\ m


W = 450\ J

So, the work done to push a box across the floor is 450 N.

Mechanical power is defined as,


P=(Work)/(time)


P=(450\ J)/(8\ s)

P = 56.25 Watt

The power is 56.25 Watts.

Hence, this is the required solution.
