Answer: 2900185 Joules

Step-by-step explanation:

Force used to tow the car is 1600N

Angle(α)= 25

Displacement = 2km

Recall that 1km= 1000m

Therefore 2km= 2000m

Workdone= FdCos α

W= 1600 * 2000 * cos 25

W=2900184.919

W= 2900185 Nm(when approximated to the nearest integer)

Since 1J = 1Nm

Work done = 2900185 J
