Answer: work done = 64,000J or 64KJ.
Explanation:
Work is said to be done if a force applied makes the object to move through a distance in the direction of the applied force. Work is the product of force and perpendicular distance in the direction of the applied force. It is represented by W, measured in Joules(J) and a scalar quantity.
Thus, work done(J)= force(N) × distance(m)
From the the question,
applied force= 1600N
distance=40m
Therefore, work= 1600 × 40
W= 64,000J
But, 1 kilojoules = 1000J
Therefore, 64,000J = 64,000 ÷ 1000
= 64KJ
Work done is 64KJ
