work = force x distance
22N x 16m = 352 J

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Work is defined as the energy required when force is applied in a certain direction.

The expression for work, force and distance is as follows.

W = F × d

where, W = work

F = force

d = distance

It is given that force applied to drag the box is 22 N and distance is 16 meters. Therefore, calculate work done as follows.

W = F × d

= 22 N × 16 meters

= 352 Nm (1 Newton meter = 1 joule)

or, W = 352 J

Thus, we can conclude that amount of work done is 352 J.
