Solution

Step 1: Given data
Force acting on a body $(F) = 100 N$
Displacement $(s) = 15 m$
Work done $(W) = ?$
Step 2: Formula used
According to the formula of work
$W o r l = F o r c e \times d i s p l a c e m e n t W = F \times s . . . . . . . (a)$
Step 3: Calculating the work
On, putting all the given values in equation (a), we get
$W = 100 N \times 15 m W = 1500 J$
Hence, the work done will be $W = 1500 J$
