Question

Your family is moving to a new home. While lifting a box 1.5 m straight up to put it
on a truck, you exert an upward force of 200 N. Calculate the amount of work you
did.
A.300
B.133 J
C.201.5 J
D.198.53

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 300 J

Explanation:

As work done can be calculated as force applied times the displacement of the body in the same direction.

now, according to the question,

upward force = 200N and upward displacement = 1.5m

So,

work done = 200N × 1.5m

                  = 300J
