Answer 1

The work done can be calculated using the formula:

Work = Force x Distance

In this case, the force applied is given as 98 Newtons, and the distance over which the force is applied is 4 meters. Therefore, the work done is:

Work = 98 N x 4 m = 392 Joules.

So, the correct answer is:

392 Joules.
