Given:

The force is F = 12 N

The distance is d = 5m

To find: The work done to lift the box.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula that can be used to calculate work done is


W\text{ = F}* d

Substituting the values, work done will be


\begin{gathered} W\text{ = 12}*5 \\ =60\text{ J} \end{gathered}

Final Answer: The work done to lift the box is 60 J.
