Solution
The correct option is D 78 J Let force applied by Vijay be F1 and force applied by Gopal be F2. Given, force F1=22N, F2=10N and displacement S=6.5m Since, both the forces are acting in the opposite direction, net force=22−10=12N Net work done,W = Net force × displacement = 12 ×6.5 = 78 J . ∴ The net work done is 78 J.
