Question

While rearranging a dorm room, a student does 346 J of work in moving a desk 3.1 m. What was the magnitude of the applied horizontal force (in N)? answer in:____N

Answer 1

To start off, we will need to define what work is

$work=force*distance$

We have how much work the student does and we know the distance

work = 346 J

distance = 3.1 meters

W = Fd

346 = 3.1(F)

F = 111.61 Newtons
