Question

If the box weighs 40 newtons and is lifted a distance of 2 meters, how much work is done on the box?

Answer 1

Answer:

The work done on the box is 80 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of box = 40 N

Distance = 2 meter

We need to calculate the work done

Using formula of work done

$W=F\times x$

$W=mg\times x$

Where, x = distance

mg = weight

Put the value into the formula

$W=40\times2$

$W= 80\ Nm$

$W=80\ J$

Hence, The work done on the box is 80 J.
