Question

The world's most powerful tugboats are built in Finland. One of these boats can do 98,000,000 J of work through a distance of 35 m. What is the force exerted by the tugboat?

Answer 1

Use the formula \(W=\text{F}d\)

Answer 2

I don't understand the formula aight thxs tho

Answer 3

\(W=\text{F}d\)
W=work, measured in Joules (J)
F=Force, measured in Newtons (N)
d=distance, measured in meters (m)

Here you are given 9.8 x 10^7 J of work, and 35 m, so you will set W=9.8 x 10^7 J and d=35 m, then solve for F using simple algebra
