1200 * 15 Joules

2500 * 16 Joules

work = Force component in direction of motion * distance moved.

I wonder why you are asking. This should be in the first sentence of the first paragraph of your text on the subject.

this isnt "homework help"

whats the answer to a)

W = fd
= ( 1200 N ) ( 15 m )
= 18000 J
