Answer: 7.3 kJ

Step-by-step explanation:

Work = gravitational potential energy

Amount of work done to lift the box off the ground is stored in the form gravitational potential energy.

W = m g h

where m is the mass = 62 kg

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h is the height = 12 m

W = 62 kg × 9.81 m/s² × 12 m = 7298. 6 J = 7.3 kJ
