Answer:

Work done to move the block from bottom to top is 400 J

Step-by-step explanation:

Work is done against gravity here to move the book from floor to the top

So here work done is given as

W = mgH

here we know that

mg = 20 N

also we know that

H = 20 m

so we have

W = 20(20) J


W = 400 J
