Answer

Work = 2300 joules

Work Step by Step

Since there was no acceleration, the force the workers used was equal in magnitude to the frictional force. Therefore, the formula Work = Force x Distance becomes $Work = F_f\times d$ next, we use this formula to find the amount of work: $Work = F_f\times d$ $Work = F_N\times\mu\times d$ $Work = mg\times\mu\times d$ $Work = (46.0)(9.8)(0.50)(10.3)$ $Work = 2300 ~joules$
