It's easy raising the barbell.
Work can be obtained from the following expression
W = F*d
Where F is the force (In this case the force it takes to lift Sarah, which is mass*gravity)
And d is the distance traveled.
W = 60kg*9.8m/s^2 * 4m = 2352 Joules
The maximum force acts between B and C as the graph is steepest showing maximum deceleration
It doesn't matter what the object's initial velocity is, or how long
the acceleration lasts. All that matters is the object's mass and
acceleration.
Force = (mass) x (acceleration) =
(5kg) x (15 m/s²) =
75 kg-m/s² = <em>75 newtons .</em>
