Question

200 j of work was done to move a box 12 m. What force was applied to the box?

Answer 1

16.67 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Work done is a product of force and perpendicular distance and expressed as

W=Fd

Where W is the amount of work done in Joules, F is the applied force magnitude in Newtons and d is rhe perpendicular diatance in meters.

Making F the subject of the formula then

`F=\frac {W}{d}`

Substituting 200 J for W and 12 m for d we get that

`F=\frac {200}{12}=16.66666666667N\aplrox 16.67N`
