Answer:

Distance for which the balloon has been pulled by the child = 12 meter

Force applied by the child to pull the balloon = 1.0 Newton

The angle below horizontal = 60 degree

These information's are already given in the question. Based on the above information's the answer to the question can be easily determined.

We know that

Work done = Force * Distance * Cos(60)

= 1 * 12 * (1/2)

= 1 * 6

= 6 Joules

So the work done by the child is 6 joules. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand. Based on the above mentioned procedure, you can always solve problems of similar kind without taking any outside help.
