Understand Work Formula: Understand the formula for work. Work (W) is calculated by multiplying the force (F) applied to an object by the distance (D) over which the force is applied. The formula is W=F×D.
Identify Force and Distance: Identify the values for force and distance.In this problem, the force applied is 60 Newtons and the distance is 20 meters.
Apply Work Formula: Apply the values to the work formula.Using the formula W=F×D, we substitute the given values to get W=60N×20m.
Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication to find the work done. W=60N×20m=1200N⋅m. Since 1Joule is equivalent to 1Newton-meter, the work done is 1200Joules.
Match Calculation with Choices: Match the calculation with the given choices.The correct calculation that matches our result is (A)20×60.
