Answer:

a) W=26600J

b) W=-12008J

Explanation:

Given the information from the exercise we can calculate the work done by the elevator using the following formula:

W=F*s

a) Considering you and your belongings as a system we know that the elevator is applying a Normal reaction force of:

F=790N+960N=1750N

Since the force applied and the displacement is in the same direction, the work done by the elevator is positive

W=(1750N)(15.2m)=26600J

b) The reaction force applied by the elevator is the same as the weight of the person

F=790N

Since the force applied and the displacement is in opposite direction, the work done by the elevator is negative

W=-(790N)(15.2m)=-12008J
