A force is applied to push a cabinet 12 m across the floor. The work done is 1400. How much force was exerted to move the file cabinet?

Respuesta :

ANSWER:

116.67 N

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

We have that the work formula is the following:

[tex]W=F\cdot d[/tex]

Where W is work, F is force, and d is distance. We replace the corresponding values and solve for F to calculate the force, like this:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 1400=F\cdot12 \\ F=\frac{1400}{12} \\ F=116.67\text{ N} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The force is equal to 116.67 N
