Understanding Work
Work in physics is done when a force causes an object to move a certain distance. It's calculated by:
* Work (W) = Force (F) x Distance (d)
Applying the Formula
* Force (F) = 18 N
* Distance (d) = 3.4 m
* Work (W) = 18 N * 3.4 m = 61.2 N-m
Units
* The unit for work is the Newton-meter (N-m), which is also known as a Joule (J).
Therefore, the amount of work done is 61.2 N-m or 61.2 J.
