The formula for work (W) is given by the equation \( W = F \times d \), where \( F \) is the force measured in newtons (N) and \( d \) is the distance measured in meters (m). The unit of work is the joule (J), where \( 1 , \text{J} = 1 , \text{N} \times 1 , \text{m} \).
From the responses you provided, the correct equation that shows work being calculated using the correct units is:
113 J = (17.4 N) × (6.51 m)
This equation correctly uses newtons for force and meters for distance, resulting in the correct unit of work measured in joules.
