Work = Force * Distance

#### Explanation:

So, 3245J = F*135m

Then $F = \frac{3245 \frac{K g {m}^{2}}{s} ^ 2}{135 m}$

I'll let you finish the problem

I got approximately $24.1 \setminus \text{N}$.

#### Explanation:

We need to use the work equation here, which states that:

$W = F \cdot d$

Since we are solving for force, we might as well rearrange the equation into

$F = \frac{W}{d}$

Plugging in the given values, we get

F=(3245 \ "J")/(135 \ "m")~~24.1 \ "N"
