Question

Find the work done by a 75.0 kg person in climbing a 2.50 m flight of stairs at a constant speed.

Answer 1

Answer:

1,839.375 Joules

Explanation:

Work is said to be done is the force applied to an object cause the object to move through a distance.

Workdone = Force * Distance

Workdone = mass * acceleration due to gravity * distance

Given

Mass = 75.0kg

acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

distance = 2.50m

Substitute the given parameters into the formula:

Workdone = 75.0*9.81*2.50

Workdone = 1,839.375Joules

Hence the workdone is 1,839.375 Joules
