Question

A carpenter applies a force of 60N horizontally to push a plane 40 cm along a piece of wood, how much work does she do?

Answer 1

W = 24 J

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Applied force, F = 60 N

Distance moved, d = 40 cm = 0.4 m

We need to find the work done by the carpenter. We know that,

Work done, W = Fd

Put all the values,

W = 60 N × 0.4 m

= 24 J

Hence, the required work done is equal to 24 J.
