Answer:
Work = 196 Joules (1 kg*m^2/sec^2 is 1 Joule)
Step-by-step explanation:
Work, W, is defined as force. F, times displacement, d.
W = Force*displacement
In the worker's case, the force he/she is struggling against is Earth's gravity's acceleration, g, (9.8 m/sec^2) times the mass, m.
Force = mg
Force = (10kg)*(9.8 m/sec^2) = 98 kg*m/sec^2
Use this force in the work calculation.
W = Force*displacement
The displacement is 2 meters.
Work = (98 kg*m/sec^2)*(2 meters) = 196 kg*m^2/sec^2
1 kg*m^2/sec^2 is 1 Joule
Work = 196 Joules
