Answer:

The work done by Ramas is 3920 N.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

mass of the load lifted by Ramas, m = 20 kg

height through which the load is lifted, h = 20 m

The work done by Ramas is equal to gravitational potential due to the height in which the load is lifted.

W = PE = mgh

where;

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

W = 20 x 9.8 x 20

W = 3920 N.

Therefore, the work done by Ramas is 3920 N.
