The water has a certain property i.e it has a high heat carrying capacity, as a result of which the water in the oceans are heated at a much slower rate.
On the other hand, the land areas absorbs a huge amount of incoming solar radiation, as a result of which it gets heated up at a much a faster rate.
So, the places that are near the seas and oceans remains cooler than the places that are far away. According to the given condition, the cities that are far inland are much warmer and moist compared to the cities that are located near the Gulf of Mexico.
The formula that can be applied in this problem is W = Fd
where W is work, F is the force and d is distance. You have 450N and 3m, all
you have to do is to multiply it.
