The work done on the suitcase is, W = 600 J

Explanation:

Given,

The average force exerted by Jose on his suitcase, F = 60 N

Jose carried the suitcase to a distance, S = 10 m

The work done on the suitcase is given by the relation

W = F x S

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

W = 60 N x 10 m

= 600 J

Hence, the work done on the suitcase is, W = 600 J
