Question

Given the amount of work required to move a box 5 meters across the floor is 100J. What is the force that is needed?

Answer 1

$work \: done \: = \: force \times distance$
Work done = 100J
Distance = 5 meters
Force = ?
$force = \frac{work \: done}{distance}$
Force = 100/5 = 20N
Therefore, the force needed is 20 Newtons
