16. Samuel applies a horizontal force of 35.0 N to a sleigh over a distance of 1.50 m along a level surface. Calculate the work done on the sleigh by Samuel.

W=35.0 n x 1.50m
W=52.5

That's what I got, I was wondering what would the units be for it if any?

It would be joules.

W=f\cdot d

W=35N\cdot \frac{3}{2}m=\frac{105}{2} N\cdot m=\frac{105}{2} J

This is my 1000th post:D
