Question

At a depth of 10 m, the load from the well weighing 5000 g was increased evenly. How much work has been done?

Answer 1

The work done can be calculated using the force exerted by the load and the distance it is lifted.

Step-by-step explanation:

The work done in this scenario can be calculated using the formula:

Work = force × distance

Given that the load from the well weighs 5000 g (or 5 kg) and the depth is 10 m, we can calculate the work as follows:

1. Convert the weight of the load to Newtons: 5 kg × 9.8 m/s^2 = 49 N.
2. Calculate the work: Work = 49 N × 10 m = 490 J.

Therefore, the work done is 490 Joules (J).
