Answer:

The right solution is "61.557 MJ". A further explanation is given below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given values are:

Force,

F = 306 N

Drive,

D = 125 miles,

i.e.,

= 201168

meters

As we know,

The work done will be:

=
F* S

On substituting the given values, we get

=
306* 201168

=
61557408 \ J

On converting it in "MJ", we get

=
61.557* 10^6 \ J

=
61.557 \ MJ
