25 Joules

Explanation:

#W = F*d*cos(theta)#

Where
#"F = force"#
#"d = displacement"#
#"cos(theta) = angle between the force applied and the displacement"#

Since the angle between the #"displacement"# and #"Force"# is #0# and the #cos(0) = 1#, then we get the following:

#W = (10N)*(2.5m)*1 = color(blue)("25 N*m or 25 J#

#Answer = 25 J#
