In which scenario is the least amount of work done on a crate?

Work is force multiplied by distance when the force acts in the direction of motion. The choices give: A, 120 × 25 = 3,000 J; B, 125 × 27 = 3,375 J; C, 130 × 22 = 2,860 J; and D, 115 × 26 = 2,990 J. The smallest amount is 2,860 J, so the answer is C, a force of 130 N moving the crate 22 m.
