Question

how much work is done by a force of 40N in moving an object through a distance of 2 metre in a direction of a force

Answer 1

Given:

the force is

`F=40\text{ N}`

The distance the object is moved

`d=2\text{ m}`

Required: work done to move an object

Explanation: When a force is applied to an object and that object is moved a distance d then it said that the work is done.

work done is given by

`W=Fd`

Plugging all the values in the above relation we get

`\begin{gathered} W=40\text{ N}*2\text{ m} \\ W=80\text{ J} \end{gathered}`

Thus, the work done is 80 joule.
