The amount of work done by Anne can be calculated using the formula:
Work = Force x Distance
In this case, the force exerted by Anne is 34.1 N, and the distance the ball is moved is 1.8 meters. Substituting these values into the formula:
Work = 34.1 N x 1.8 m
Calculating this expression, we find:
Work = 61.38 Joules
Therefore, the amount of work that Anne did on the ball is 61.38 J. The correct answer is B.
