Work = Force × Distance × cosθ
where θ is the angle between the force and the displacement.
In this case, the force is applied in the same direction as the displacement, so θ = 0°. Therefore, cosθ = 1.
Substituting the given values into the formula, we get:
Work = 10.0 N × 0.9 m × 1
= 9.0 J
Therefore, the work done in lifting the box a distance of 0.9 m is 9.0 J.
