Answer
The work required to hammer the nail a horizontal distance of 5.0 cm into the wall is $5.16~J$
Work Step by Step
We can find the total work required:
$Work = F_1~d_1+F_2~d_2$
$Work = (50~N)(0.012~m)+(120~N)(0.038~m)$
$Work = 5.16~J$
The work required to hammer the nail a horizontal distance of 5.0 cm into the wall is $5.16~J$
