Answer:

800 J

Step-by-step explanation:

Work is defined as the product of applied force and perpendicular distance moved hence expressed as

W=Fd

Where F represent the magnitude of applked force in N, d is rhe perpendicular distance in meters and W is the work done done.

The unit of this product is N.m which is Joules

Substituting 100 N for F and 8 m for d then the work done will be equivalent to

W=100*8=800 N.m=800 J

Therefore, work done is equal to 800 J
