Answer:

234 J

Explanation:

Assuming that the force applied by Zak is in the same direction of the displacement of the sofa, the work done by Zak is given by

[tex]W=Fd[/tex]

where

F = 36 N is the force applied by Zak

d = 6.5 m is the displacement of the sofa

Substituting these numbers into the equation, we find the work done by Zak:

[tex]W=(36 N)(6.5 m)=234 J[/tex]
