A man lifts a load of 20 kg Frome The ground And put it on his head 1.4m above the ground . Calculate the work done by the man. :pweez: xD

Given parameters:

Mass of load = 20kg

Height of man = 1.4m

Unknown:

Work done by man = ?

Work done is the force applied to move a body in a particular direction.

Often times, it is mathematically expressed as;

           Work done  = Force x distance

In this problem, we use the formula of potential energy to find the work done;

     Work done  = Potential energy  = mgh

where m is the mass of the load

            g is the acceleration due to gravity  = 9.8m/s²

            h is the height of the body

Now, input the parameters, and solve for work done;

        Work done = 20 x 9.8 x 1.4  = 274.4J

The work done by man is  274.4J

he kicked it 10 feet straight up into the air? i think this works.

answer: b.
