A person using a lever applies 98 Newtons to lift a 40-kilogram box. They apply the force over a distance of 8 meters to lift the box a distance of 2 meters. How much work is done? (1 point)

Question

Item 8
• 784 Joules
• 196 Joules
• 320 Joules
• 80 Joules

Answer 1

To find the work done, we can use the formula:

Work (W) = Force (F) * Distance (d)

The force applied is 98 Newtons and the distance over which the force is applied is 8 meters. Therefore, the work done is:

W = 98 N * 8 m = 784 Joules

So, the correct answer is 784 Joules.
