Question

A force of 10 N acts on a body and moves it through a distance of 5 m in the direction of force. Calculate the work done by the force.

Answer 1

Step 1: Given data

Force, F =10 N,

Distance, S = 5m,

Step 2: Finding the work done

Work done is given by

$W=Force\times Dis\tan ce$

$W=F\times S$

$W=10N\times 5m$

or $W=50Nm$

or $W=50joules$

Hence, the work done by the force is 50 J.
