Question

How much work is done when mass of 3kg(weighing 30N)is lifted vertically through 6m?

Answer 1

180 [J].

Step-by-step explanation:

1) the required work [W] can be calculated as difference of the energy: W=E₂-E₁, where E₁=mgh₁ - the energy before lifting, E₂=mgh₂ - the energy after lifting;

2) W=mgh₂-mgh₁, where m - mass; g=10 [N/kg], h - height;

3) then the required work [W]:

W=mg*(h₂-h₁)=30*6=180 [J].
