Use Work=F.SCos@ where @ is angle between applied force and direction of motion
The work done can be calculated by multiplying the force applied by the distance moved in the direction of the force. In this case, the distance moved in the direction of the force is 2 meters, so: Work = Force x Distance = 5 newtons x 2 meters = 10 joules Therefore, the work done by the student in lifting the books is 10 joules, which is option (D).
