Question

A 350-lb gorilla climbs a tree to a height of 27 ft. Find the work done if the gorilla reaches that height in the following times.

Answer 1

Answer:

Work done, W = 9450 lb-ft

Explanation:

It is given that,

Weight of gorilla, F = 350 lb

It climbs a height of, d = 27 ft

We need to find work one if the reaches that height. The work done by the gorilla is given by :

$W=F\times d$

$W=350\times 27$

W = 9450 lb-ft

So, the work done by the gorilla is 9450 lb-ft. Hence, this is the required solution.
