Final answer:

The work done to lift a 155 g tomato through a height of 12.6 m is 19.1394 joules.

Step-by-step explanation:

The work done to lift an object can be calculated using the formula Work = force × distance. In this case, the force is the weight of the tomato, and the weight can be found by multiplying the mass of the tomato by the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²). The mass of the tomato is 155 g or 0.155 kg. Therefore, the weight (force) is 0.155 kg × 9.8 m/s² = 1.519 N. When the tomato is lifted 12.6 m, the work done is 1.519 N × 12.6 m = 19.1394 J (joules).
