Question

A force of 10N causes a body to move a distance of 5.2m in the direction of the force. Calculate the work done.

Answer 1

Answer:

52 Newton X Meter

Work is positive because it's direction is in working force.

Answer 2

Answer:

Work done by force is 52 Joules.

Explanation:

The formula for work done is given as -

$Work~done=Force\times displacement$

Here,

Force = 10 N

Displacement = +5.2 metre (positive because the distance moved is along the direction of force)

So,

Work done = 10 × 5.2

Work done = 52 Joules.
