Question

A force is applied to push a cabinet 12 m across the floor. The work done is 1400. How much force was exerted to move the file cabinet?

Answer 1

116.67 N

Explanation:

We have that the work formula is the following:

`W=F\cdot d`

Where W is work, F is force, and d is distance. We replace the corresponding values and solve for F to calculate the force, like this:

`\begin{gathered} 1400=F\cdot12 \\ F=(1400)/(12) \\ F=116.67\text{ N} \end{gathered}`

The force is equal to 116.67 N
