Answer:11.2 m

Explanation:

Given

Force Applied
F=120 N

inclination
$\theta =35^(\circ)$

Force has two components here i.e.
$F\cos \theta$ and
$F\sin \theta$

$F\cos \theta$ will will do work

Work done is given by force time displacement

$W=120\cdot \cos 35* s$

$1100=120* \cos 35* s$

$s=11.19\approx 11.2 m$
