Final answer:

By applying the work formula, the total work done by two men pushing a car with 30N each over a distance of 100m is 6000 Joules.

Step-by-step explanation:

The work done by both men in pushing the car can be calculated using the formula Work = Force × Distance.

Since each man applies a force of 30N and the distance is 100m, the work done by one man is 30N × 100m = 3000 Joules.

Therefore, for both men together, the total work done would be 3000 Joules × 2 = 6000 Joules.

So, the correct answer to the question, "If a force of 30N was used by 2 men each to push a car through a distance of 100m, calculate the work done by both of them." is c) 6000 J.
