To calculate the work done using the formula \( \text{Work} = \text{Force} \times \text{Distance} \):
Given:
- Force = 12 newtons
- Distance = 4 meters
Now, applying the values to the formula:
\[
\text{Work} = 12 \, \text{N} \times 4 \, \text{m} = 48 \, \text{J}
\]
Therefore, the work done is **48 J**.
