In physics, work is done on an object when energy is transferred to that object. Work is always measured in Nxm (pronounced Newton meters)The equation used to find the constant force acting on a particle is
Work Done = Acting Force × Distance.
W = F x d
The force is 30 N
The distance is 10 m
W = 30 N x 10 m = 300 N
