    Answer:

    1788.402 MJ

    Explanation:

    Work done = Force (N) x distance (m)

    First we have to convert distance into metres:

    173.8 x 1000 = 173,800 m

    Then plug these values into the equation above:

    173,800 x 10290 = 1788402000 J

    The reason it’s Joules (the unit for energy) is because work done = energy transferred

    Now we have to convert Joules into Mega Joules:

    1 J = 1/1000000 MJ

    1788402000 J = 1788402000/ 1000000 = 1788.402 MJ
