Answer:

F=547.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To Find the answer you have to remember the Formula for work. Work= Force* distance, because we are not finding work we have to fill in the variables or rearrange the formula to Force= Work/Distance

Work= 16,700

Distance=30.5M

Force=?

So,

16,700=F*30.5

Now you isolate the variable by dividing both sides by 30.5

or

Force=16,700J/30.5M

and you get F=547.5
