Given,

W = 300N

S = 20 m

Work = force x Displacement.

= 300 x 20

= 6000 Joules.

P.S

Many people get fonfused as to why i took the goven weight as the force. Its because weight is also a force exerted by objects on earth.

Formula for work:


w=Fd

work(measured in joules) = force(measured in newtons) * distance(measured in meters)

__________________________________________________________

Given:


F=300N


d=20m


w=?

__________________________________________________________

Finding work:


w=Fd


w=300*20
