Answer:

The answer is

15.0 J

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the work done by a body we use the formula

work done = force × distance

From the question

force = 10 N

distance covered = 1.5 m

So the work done is

work done = 10 × 1.5

We have the final answer as

15.0 J

Hope this helps you
