    Work = Force * distance

    We need to calculate distance travelled.

    20km/hr = 20,000m / 60min → 333.3m / min

    333.3 * 3.5 min = 1,166.6 meters travelled

    Force = 700 N and distance = 1,166.6 m

    Work done is 700 N * 1,666.6 = 816,620 Nm

    Power output = work / time

    Power output is 816, 620 Nm / (3.5 * 60sec) →816, 620 / 210 = 3,888.7

    Power output is 3,888.7 Watts.

    Power output can also be expressed in joules per second so it is also correct to say work done is 3,888.7 J/s
