Answer:

4704 Joules

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

  • Mass of the firefighter is 80 kg
  • Height of the stairs is 6 m

Assuming we are required to calculate the work done by the firefighter;

  • Work done is the product of force and distance.
  • Work done = Force × distance

We are given mass as 80 kg

But, 9.8 N = 1kg

Therefore,

Force = 80 kg × 9.8 N/kg

= 784 N

Therefore,

Work done = 784 N × 6 m

= 4704 Joules
