Answer:
783.2 N.m or Joules
Explanation:
Work done when a force F is applied to move an object by a displacement d meters
where cos(Ф) is the angle between applied force F and displacement d
Since the weightlifter is applying the force upward and the set of weight also move upward therefore, both are in same direction hence angle will be zero.
Now lets substitute the given values into the work equation:
since cos(0)=1
or
Since the unit of Force is Newton (N) and the unit of displacement is meters (m) therefore, unit of work done will be N.m
Note: 1 N.m is equivalent to 1 joule
