Question

Suppose a forklift hoists a container weighing 2670 Netwons up from

ground level, setting it down on aloading dock 4.5 meters above ground
level. How much work was done by the forklift in this maneuver?

Answer 1

12,015Joules

Step-by-step explanation:

Work is said to be done when the force applied to an object cause it to move over a distance.

Workdone = Force * Distance

Given

Force = 2670 N

Distance = 4.5 meters

Substitute the given values

Work done = 2670 * 4.5

Workdone = 12,015Joules

Hence the amount of work done by the forklift is 12,015Joules
