Answer:

Workdone = 588 Nm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 10 kg

Distance = 6 meters

To find the work done by the man on the box;

First of all, we would determine the force acting on the box;

Force = mass * acceleration due to gravity

Force = 10 * 9.8

Force = 98 N

Next, we find the workdone;

Workdone = force * distance

Workdone = 98 * 6

Workdone = 588 Nm
