The apple is lifted by 1.1 m

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Given that, mgh = 2 J and mass of apple = 180g
  • Step 1: convert grams to kg as work is given in SI units.

180 g = 0.18 kg

  • Step 2: substitute in the formula for work done.

0.18 * 10 * h = 2

  • Step 3: calculate the value of h from this formula.

h = 2/1.8

h = 1.11 m
