Answer 2

Answer:

Negative work.

Explanation:

Physically speaking, the term "work" is used when we refer to the work performed by a force, that is, Mechanical Work. Thus, a force applied in a body accomplishes a work when it produces a displacement in the body.

In this way, we can understand that:

• When a force has the same direction of movement the work done is positive.

• When a force has opposite direction to the movement the work done is negative.

In this case we can conclude that the work is negative, because the displacement of the "thing being put on the ground" is down, but the force made by the arms is up.
