Answer:

Workdone = 19600 Nm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 40 kg

Distance = 50 meters

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8 m/s².

To find the work done;

First of all, we would determine the force being exerted by the construction worker.

Force = mass * acceleration due to gravity

Force = 40 * 9.8

Force = 392 Newton

Next, we would determine the work done;

Workdone is given by the formula;


Workdone = force * distance


Workdone = 392 * 50

Workdone = 19600 Nm
