Answer:

About 213.33 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Force can be found using the following formula:

F= w/d

where w is work in Joules (J) and d is distance in meters (m).

We know that the machine does 4800 Joules of work over a distance of 22.5 meters. Therefore,

w=4800 J

d=22.5 m

Substitute these values into the formula.

F= 4800 J/ 22.5 m

Divide 4800 by 22.5

F= 213.333333 J/m

Let's round to the nearest hundredth. The 3 in the thousandth place indicates the 3 in the hundredth place should stay.

F= 213.33 J/m

1 J/m is equal to 1 Newton, or N.

F= 213.33 N

The force exerted by the machine is about 213.33 Newtons
