Answer 1

Answer: The answer is in the figure attached.

Explanation:

The Work $W$ done by a Force $F$ refers to the release of potential energy from a body that is moved by the application of that force to overcome a resistance along a path.  

It should be noted that it is a scalar magnitude, and its unit in the International System of Units is the Joule (J). Therefore, 1 Joule is the work done by a force of 1 Newton when moving an object, in the direction of the force, along 1 meter:  

$1J=(1N)(1m)=Nm$  

However, in the British Engineering and Gravitational Systems its unit is Foot-pound (ft-lb). Where $1ft-lb=1.355818J$

Now, when the applied force $F)$ is constant and the direction of the force and the direction of the movement (traveled distance) $d$  are parallel, the equation to calculate it is:  

$W=(F)(d)$

So, taking into account the explanation above, the attached table shows the Work done for each situation.
