Answer:

17 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Work done is the product of force and perpendicular distance moved, therefore, expressed as

W=Fd

Where F represent the applied force, d is perpendicular distance and W is work done.

Making d the subject of the formula then


d=\frac {W}{F}

Substituting 68 J for work and 4 N for force then


d=\frac {68}{4}=17 m

Therefore, the distance is equivalent to 17 m
