The force exerted on the box is 56 N
Explanation:
The work done by a force on an object is given by
where
F is the magnitude of the force
d is the displacement of the object
is the angle between the direction of the force and of the displacement
For the box in this problem, we have:
W = 2240 J is the work done
d = 40 m is the displacement of the box
Assuming that the force is parallel to the displacement,
Solving the equation for F, we find the force exerted on the box:
