Answer:

The crate was being lifted by a height of 1.48 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

In an attempt o move a crate;

Force applied = 2470 N

Work done by the force = 3650 J

We know that the work done is defined as the force used to move an object to a distance.

Given the Force used and the work done by that Force, we need to find out the distance the crate was lifted to.

Work done is defined as:

Work = Force*distance covered in the direction of the force

3650 = 2470*distance

distance = 3650/2470

distance = 1.48 meters
