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) = 55 N (Newtons)

* Distance (d) = 4.0 m (meters)

Calculation

Work (W) = 55 N * 4.0 m = 220 Joules (J)

Answer

The man performs 220 Joules of work.
