The work done is equal to the potential energy, so:
Epg=mgh
Epg=20kg*9,81m/s²*1,4m
Epg=274,68J

Sasha lifts a couch 8.2 meters from the ground floor of her house to the attic. If the couch has a mass of 120 kg, what is the g

gavmur [86]

As we know that gravitational potential energy is given by

$U = mgH$

here we have

m = mass = 120 kg

$g = 9.81 m/s^2$

h = height = 8.2 m

now from above formula

$U = 120kg (9.81 m/s^2) (8.2 m)$

$U = 9653.04 J$

so above is the gravitational potential energy of the couch
