Answer:

440J

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let us find the weight of the barbell.

The formula to find the weight is :

W = m × g

Here,

m ⇒ mass ⇒ 20 kg

g ⇒ acceleration of gravity

Let us find it now.

W = m × g

W = 20 kg × 10 ms⁻²

W = 200N

And now let us find the work done by this weight lifter.

Work = Force × Displacement

Let us find it now.

Work = Force × Displacement

= 200N × 2.2m

= 440J
