Best Answer

Work done = force multiply by displacement

so

W = 20X 10

= 200 Nm

now

1Nm = 1 joule

then the answer is 200 J

If you exert a force of 4.5N on a book to slide it across a table and do 2.7J of work in the process how far have you moved the book?

Work Done = Force x Displacement 2.7 joules = 4.5 newtons x Displacement(in meters) Displacement = 0.6 meters


What is the formula to find joules?

To find joules, you have to multiply the force or newtons by distance in meters.


A boy exerts an average force of 65N when he lifts a box 1.2 meters How much work does he do?

Work is equal to force x distance. If the force is specified in Newtons, and the distance in meters, then the work is in Joules.Work is equal to force x distance. If the force is specified in Newtons, and the distance in meters, then the work is in Joules.Work is equal to force x distance. If the force is specified in Newtons, and the distance in meters, then the work is in Joules.Work is equal to force x distance. If the force is specified in Newtons, and the distance in meters, then the work is in Joules.


If a worker pushes horizontally on a large crate with a force of 298 newtons and the crate moved 6.5 meters how much work do he do?

Work = force x distance = Newtons x meters = 1937 Joules.


Calculate the work done to move a dresser 7 meters using a force of 2.5 newtons?

A force of 2.5 newtons acting through a distance of 7 meters delivers 17.5 newton meters = 17.5 joules of work.


The work to lift a weight of 5 Newtons up 2 meters is what joules?

Work = Force x Distance. The answer is 10 joules.


What did James Joules do in science?

James Joules created a method in which work is calculated. work(joules) equals force(newtons) times distance(meters) or j=n times m.


How is pressure volume equal to a joule?


Calculate the work done for an object moved 62 meters by a force of 5.6 newtons in 30 minutes?

The work is 347 joules.


What is the potential energy of a crate lifted with a force of 100 newtons a vertical distance of 2 meters?

Force x distance = 100 x 2 = 200 newton-meters = 200 joules.


How much work is done by 4 newtons of force over a distance of 10 meters?

Work = force x distance = (4 x 10) = 40 newton-meters = 40 joules
