    Answer: 217.52 N

    Explanation: The applied force is 20 N, the distance covered is 12.0 m and the angle is 25° above the horizontal.

    Hence the formulae that defines work done is given by

    W = Force * distance

    But since the force has been inclined at an angle θ above the horizontal, the horizontal component of force is neccesary to produce the required motion to make the child do work on the wagon.

    Hence

    Work done = (horizontal component of force) * distance

    Work done = F cos θ * distance

    Work done = 20 cos 25 * 12 = 217.52 N
