Answer:

The distance Mr Franklin applied the force is 400 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The efficiency of the machine = 80%

The force applied by the machine = 800 N

The distance over which the force is applied by the machine = 20 m

The force applied by Mr. Franklin = 50 N

The work done by the machine = 800 × 20 = 16000 J

The ideal work at 100% efficiency = X

80% of X = 16000 J

X = 16000 N/0.8 = 20,000 J

Therefore, we have have;

Work = Force × Distance;

20,000 J = 50 N × Distance Mr Franklin applied the force

Distance Mr Franklin applied the force = 20,000 J/(50 N) = 400 m

The distance Mr Franklin applied the force = 400 m.
