Answer:

If this is the question : boy weighing 50kg climbs up a vertical height of 100m. Calculate the amount of work done by him. How much potential energy does he gain (g=9.8m/s2)

So the answer will be:

mass of boy = m = 50 kg
height = h = 100m

since boy does not move anything with his force, work done by him is zero work done on the boy = gain in potential energy
P.E=mgh P.E=50×9.8×100 P.E=49KJ so, potential energy gained by boy is 49 KJ

Step-by-step explanation:
