Answer:

34.4Joules

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete question

a man is trying to pull a box a distance of 3 m with a force of 20 N that makes a 35º with the horizontal. Find the workdone

Work done = Fdsin theta

Force F = 20N

distance d = 3m

theta = 35 degrees

Substitute

Workdone = 20(3)sin 35

Workdone = 60sin35

Workdone = 34.4Joules

Hence the workdone by the man is 34.4Joules
