Work is calculated by multiplying force and distance.
The force applied is 98 Newtons, and the distance over which the force is applied is 4 meters. So, the work done is 98 Newtons * 4 meters = 392 Newton-meters.
However, since the problem specifies that the box is lifted a distance of 2 meters, the work done is further calculated by multiplying the force by that distance, which is 98 Newtons * 2 meters = 196 Newton-meters.
Therefore, the amount of work done is 196 Newton-meters.
A person using a lever applies 98 Newtons to lift a 20-kilogram box. They apply the force over a distance of 4 meters to lift the box a distance of 2 meters. How much work is done? (1 point)
