98J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of paint can = 5kg

Height of ladder = 2m

Unknown:

Work done = ?

Potential energy = ?

Solution:

Work done in moving the paint is the force applied under gravity to move it through the give height.

Potential energy is the energy due the position of a body at rest.

For this body:

The work done in moving the paint = Potential energy at the top of ladder = m x g x h

m is the mass of the pain can

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height of the building

Input the variables;

Work done = 5 x 9.8 x 2 = 98J

Potential energy = 98J
