Answer:

9.9 m

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Force (F) = 40 N

Workdone (Wd) = 395 J

Height (h) =?

The height can be obtained as follow:

Potential energy = mgh = Fh

395 = 40 × h

Divide both side by 40

h = 395 / 40

h = 9.9 m

Thus, the height is 9.9 m.
