Answer

$$W = 896{\text{ Joules}}$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & {\text{From the information we have:}} \cr & F = {\text{112N }}\left( {{\text{force}}} \right) \cr & D = 8{\text{m }}\left( {{\text{distance}}} \right) \cr & {\text{Using the Definition of Work Done by a Constant Force}} \cr & W = FD{\text{, Work}} = \left( {{\text{force}}} \right)\left( {{\text{distance}}} \right) \cr & {\text{Substituting the known values}} \cr & W = \left( {{\text{112N}}} \right)\left( {8{\text{m}}} \right) \cr & W = 896{\text{Nm}} \cr & W = 896{\text{Joules}} \cr} $$
