Answer: 1666J
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Mass of box (m) = 10kg
Total distance covered by box (h)
= (5m + 12m)
= 17m
work done on the box = ?
Work is done when force is applied on an object over a distance. Hence, the magnitude of work done on the box depends on its mass (m), distance covered (h), and acceleration due to gravity (g)
(g has a value of 9.8m/s²
i.e Work = mgh
Work = 10kg x 9.8m/s² x 17m
Work = 1666J
Thus, 1666 joules of work was done by the woman on the box.
