Which equation would you use to solve the following problem?
An object is moved 29 meters with a force of 289 N. What is the work done?


A. The problem is asking to solve for power; P = W/t
B. The problem is asking to solve for energy; E = J/s
C. The problem is asking to solve for work; W = F x d
D. The problem is asking to solve for time; t = W/P

Work, scientifically speaking, is done when a force is applied to an object which consequently moves the object at a certain direction. Work in formula, is force multiplied with distance. Thus, the answer is 

C. The problem is asking to solve for work; W = F x d

The correct answer to the question is : C)The problem is asking to solve for work; W = F × d

EXPLANATION:

As per the question, the distance covered by the object d = 29 m.

The force that acts on the object is F = 289 N.

We are asked to choose the correct equation for work done.

Work is said to be done on a body or by a body if the applied force has a component along the direction of displacement.

Mathematically work done W = force × displacement

                                                  = F × d

As per the question, we are given distance covered and applied force.

Hence, the correct equation for calculating work done by the object is equation C.
