To find the work done, we can use the formula for work:
\[ \text{Work} = \text{Force} \times \text{Distance} \times \cos(\theta) \]
In this case, the force is 36.8 Newtons, and the distance is 668 meters. Assuming the force is applied in the direction of motion (which means \(\theta = 0\) degrees and \(\cos(0) = 1\)), the formula simplifies to:
\[ \text{Work} = 36.8 , \text{N} \times 668 , \text{m} \]
Calculating this gives:
\[ \text{Work} = 36.8 \times 668 = 24,614.4 , \text{J} \]
Rounding to three significant figures, we get:
\[ \text{Work} \approx 24,600 , \text{J} \]
Therefore, the correct response is 24,600 J.
