Answer:

236 j

Explanation:

mass of sofa, m = 60 kg

distance, d = 5.9 m

force, F = 40 N

Work done is defined as the product of force applied on the body and the displacement in the position of the body in the direction of force.

W = F x d

W = 40 x 5.9

W = 236 J

Thus, the work done is 236 J.

Answer:236 J

Explanation:

Given

Mass of sofa $m=60 kg$

Displacement $s=5.9 m$

Force $F=40 N$

neglecting Friction

Work done is given by

$W=F\cdot s$

$W=F\cdot s\cos 0$

$W=40\cdot 5.9$

$W=236 J$
