To calculate the work done, you can use the formula:
\[ \text{Work} = \text{Force} \times \text{Distance} \]
In this case, the force is 12 newtons and the distance is 4 meters.
Substituting the values into the formula:
\[ \text{Work} = 12 \, \text{N} \times 4 \, \text{m} = 48 \, \text{J} \]
So, the work done is **48 joules (J)**.
\[ \text{Work} = \text{Force} \times \text{Distance} \]
In this case, the force is 12 newtons and the distance is 4 meters.
Substituting the values into the formula:
\[ \text{Work} = 12 \, \text{N} \times 4 \, \text{m} = 48 \, \text{J} \]
So, the work done is **48 joules (J)**.
