Answer:

F = 82 N

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

length of the slide, L = 8 m

Work done to slide the box = 656 J

Force required = ?

We know,

Work done is equal to multiplication of force into displacement.

W = F . s

656 = F x 8


F =(656)/(8)

F = 82 N

hence, 82 N of force should be applied to move the box 8 m.
