Understanding Work
Work is done when a force causes an object to move a certain distance. The formula for work is:
* Work (W) = Force (F) x Distance (d)
Applying the Information
* Force (F) = 50.0 lb
* Distance (d) = 10.0 ft
Calculation
* Work (W) = 50.0 lb * 10.0 ft = 500.0 ft-lb
Answer
The work done is 500.0 ft-lb.
