I’m not sure if my answer is correct. According to me..... mass of the block is not required..... unless you want to calculate the acceleration.......... but this is how i did it....
 
Energy = Force x Distance
Hence the force that acted on the block = 40/4 = 10N
 
Now consider the block is being pulled by a thread with an angle \Theta with the horizontal.
 
 
therefore
 Cos\Theta=\frac{Adjacent Side}{Hypotenuse}=\frac{10}{20}=\frac{1}{2}
 
=>Cos\Theta=\frac{1}{2}
 =>\Theta=60^{\circ}
 
Ans: The force of 20N should be acted on the object with an angle of 60°
