As a bacterium swims through water it propels

Reference no: EM13541667

As a bacterium swims through water it propels itself with its flagella so as to overcome the frictional drag forces and move at, more or less, constant velocity of 100 micrometers/s for periods of time. If the frictional drag force on a bacterium is 0.1 microNewtons, how much work does the bacterium do in 1 s of sustained velocity?
