Answer:

Work done = 81 Nm

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the work done by a force, we can use the following formula:


\boxed{\mathrm{Work \: done = \: Force * Distance \: moved \: in \ direction \: of \: force}}.

In this question, we are told that the woman applies a force of 27 N to pull a trolley 3.0 m along an aisle. Using this information, as well as the formula above, we can calculate the work done:

Work done = 27 N × 3.0 m

= 81 Nm

Therefore, 81 Nm (or 81 Joules) of work was done pulling the cart from one end of the aisle to the other.
