Answer:

W = 237825 [J]

Step-by-step explanation:

Work in physics is defined as the product of force by the distance that the body travels.

The work can be calculated by means of the following equation.


W =F*d

where:

W = work [J] (units of Joules)

F = force = 3150 [N]

d = distance = 75.5 [m]

Now replacing:


W=3150*75.5\\W=237825 [J]
