To calculate the work done on an object, you can use the formula:
\[ \text{Work} = \text{Force} \times \text{Distance} \times \cos(\theta) \]
where:
- Work is in joules (J),
- Force is in newtons (N),
- Distance is in meters (m),
- \(\theta\) is the angle between the force and the direction of movement.
Assuming the force is applied in the same direction as the movement (which means \(\theta = 0\) degrees and \(\cos(0) = 1\)), the formula simplifies to:
\[ \text{Work} = \text{Force} \times \text{Distance} \]
Substituting the given values:
\[ \text{Work} = 57.1, \text{N} \times 0.977, \text{m} \]
Calculating this gives:
\[ \text{Work} = 57.1 \times 0.977 \approx 55.8, \text{J} \]
So, the work done on the object is approximately 55.8 J.
