Work is defined as the force applied on an object multiplied by the distance the object moves in the direction of the force.
The work done is given by the equation:
Work = Force × Distance
In this case, the force applied is 600 Newtons and the distance moved is 6 meters. Plugging these values into the equation:
Work = 600 N × 6 m = 3600 N⋅m (Newton-meters) or Joules (J)
Therefore, the work done is 3600 Joules.
A person pushes a box 6 meters and applies a force of 600 Newtons. How much work is being done?
