To find the displacement when given the force and the work done, we can use the formula for work:

\[ \text{Work} = \text{Force} \times \text{Displacement} \]

We can rearrange this formula to solve for displacement:

\[ \text{Displacement} = \frac{\text{Work}}{\text{Force}} \]

Given:

  • Work = 376 joules
  • Force = 8.43 newtons

Now, substituting in the values:

\[ \text{Displacement} = \frac{376 \text{ joules}}{8.43 \text{ newtons}} \]

Calculating this:

\[ \text{Displacement} = \frac{376}{8.43} \approx 44.6 \text{ meters} \]

Therefore, the value of the mystery displacement is 44.6 m.
