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
If we want to find the distance, we must isolate distance by dividing both sides by force:
W/F = Fd/F
W / F = d
The work is 30000 Nxm
The force is 45 N
Force = 30000 Nxm / 45 N = 666.67 m
