long. How much force did Kendal use?

30 Newtons

10 Newtons

3 Newtons

unknown

Respuesta :

Answer:

3 Newtons

Explanation:

The work done by Kendall is given by:

[tex]W=Fd[/tex]

where

F is the force

d is the displacement of the sofa

In this problem, we know

W = 30 Nm = 30 J

d = 10 m

So we can solve the formula for F to find the force used by Kendal:

[tex]F=\frac{W}{d}=\frac{30 J}{10 m}=3 N[/tex]
