Solution

The correct option is D

170 J


Work done by the man on the luggage = Force x displacement

Force = 100 N & Displacement = 1.7 m
Work done = 100 x 1.7 = 170 J
Hence the required work done is 170 J. It can be noted that the work is done by the man on the luggage because he lifts it against the gravitational force of the Earth.
