The work done by gravity is  43 J while the work done by your habd is 27 J.

<h3>What is the work done?</h3>

We know that all over the earth is a large gravitational field. If an object is placed at a given height, the kind of energy that the object would be said to possess at that height is the gravitational potential energy. This is the kind of energy that a body would have because it is found at a given height on the earth surface.

Now, we know that gravity does some work on the book as it found to be at a position of about 2.2 on top of the shelf. The work that is done by the force of gravity on the book is obtained as;

W = mgh

W = work done

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height

W = 2 * 9.8 * 2.2

= 43 J

The work that is done by your hand =

W = 2 * 9.8 (2.2 - 0.8)

= 27 J

Answer:

<h3>The Moon brings perspective. Observing the Moon, and I mean really looking – sitting comfortably, or lying down on a patch of grass and letting her light fill your eyes, it's easy to be reminded of how ancient and everlasting the celestial bodies are. When I do this, it always puts my life into perspective.</h3>
