A :-) work = force x distance
W = 85 x 15
W = 1275 joules

.:. The work done is 1275 joules

Answer:

1275J

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Force on box = 85N

Distance moved = 15m

Unknown:

Work done = ?

Solution:

Work done is the amount of force applied on a body to move it through a specific distance.

Work done = Force x distance

Now insert the parameters and solve;

Work done = 85 x 15 = 1275J
