Given:

The force applied to the box, F=6 N

The distance of the walk, d=8 m

To find:

The work done.

Step-by-step explanation:

The work can be described as the transfer of energy from a source to an object through the application of force to move the object.

Thus the work done in carrying the box for the given distance is calculated using the formula,


W=Fd

On substituting the known values,


\begin{gathered} W=6*8 \\ =48\text{ J} \end{gathered}

Final answer:

The work done is 48 J.
