Explanation:

Step1: Recall the work formula

The formula for work \( W \) is \( W = F \times d \), where \( F \) is force and \( d \) is distance.

Step2: Substitute values into the formula

Given \( F = 10\ N \) and \( d = 5\ m \), substitute into \( W = F \times d \).
\( W = 10\ N \times 5\ m \)

Step3: Calculate the work

\( 10 \times 5 = 50 \), so \( W = 50\ J \).

Answer:

50 J (corresponding to the option "50 J")
