Work = Force x Distance
* Force: We know the force is 50 Newtons.
* Distance: We need to know *how far* the footstool was moved. The fact that it's 3 meters long doesn't tell us how far it was moved.
Possible Scenarios:
* The footstool was moved 3 meters: If the footstool was moved its entire length of 3 meters, then the work done would be:
Work = 50 Newtons * 3 meters = 150 Joules
* The footstool was moved a different distance: If the footstool was moved a shorter distance (like 1 meter), then the work done would be less.
Let me know if you have the distance the footstool was moved, and I can calculate the work done!
