Given:

The mass of the object is m = 30 kg

The height of the object is h = 2 m

To find the work done.

Step-by-step explanation:

The work done can be calculated by the formula


W=mgh

Here, g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity.

On substituting the values, the work done will be


\begin{gathered} W=30*9.8*2 \\ =588\text{ J} \end{gathered}

Final Answer: The work done is 588 J
