The work done by the person is equal to the force applied multiplied by the distance moved in the direction of the force.
Work = Force × Distance
The force applied by the person is 400 newtons, and the distance moved in the direction of the force is 4 meters + 1 meter = 5 meters.
Therefore,
Work = 400 newtons × 5 meters = 2000 joules.
So, the person did 2000 joules of work.
Work = Force × Distance
The force applied by the person is 400 newtons, and the distance moved in the direction of the force is 4 meters + 1 meter = 5 meters.
Therefore,
Work = 400 newtons × 5 meters = 2000 joules.
So, the person did 2000 joules of work.
