Answer:

91 J is the work done by gravity.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Work done = Force (N)* Distance (m)

Here the force given is 14N and distance is 65cm

here the distance is in cm, so we should change it in m.

1 cm --> 0.01 m

65 cm --> ( 0.01 * 65) m

65 cm --> 0.65 m

  • So work done = 14 * 0.65 = 91 Joules

  • Force=14N
  • Distance=65cm=6.5m

Work done


\\ \tt\hookrightarrow Force* Distance


\\ \tt\hookrightarrow 14(6.5)


\\ \tt\hookrightarrow 91J
