  • Calculating Force: Work, Distance, and Newton's Law
    Here's how to calculate the force:

    Understanding the Relationship

    * Work (W): The amount of energy transferred by a force. Measured in Joules (J).

    * Force (F): A push or pull that can change an object's motion. Measured in Newtons (N).

    * Distance (d): The length over which the force is applied. Measured in meters (m).

    Formula

    The relationship between work, force, and distance is:

    * Work (W) = Force (F) x Distance (d)

    Solving for Force

    1. Rearrange the formula to solve for force:

    * F = W / d

    2. Plug in the given values:

    * F = 10 J / 3 m

    3. Calculate the force:

    * F ≈ 3.33 N

    Therefore, approximately 3.33 Newtons of force is done.
