A tugboat pulls a ship with a constant net
horizontal force of 4.80 × 10^3N and causes the ship to move through a harbor. How much work does the tugboat do on the ship if each moves a distance of 4.24 km ?
Answer in units of J
Update:Thanks so much! I'm actually in 11th grade with a B, but I just couldn't understand how to do it. I did, though, have to change it to 2.04E7 as its the only was the UT would take it. No worries, though, it was right! Thanks again, so much!

W=Fd
W=4800x4240
W=20352000
W=2.04x10^7
4.24km needs to be in meters so you multiply it by 1000 and you get 4240m
4.80x10^3 is 4800
I turned 2035200 into 2.04x10^7 because it needs the proper sig dig.
