When conducting research, scientists use the scientific method to collect measurable, empirical evidence in an experiment related to a hypothesis (often in the form of an if/then statement), the results aiming to support or contradict a theory.
W = force * displacement W = 32 pounds * 10 feet Now you need to convert it to newton and meters W = 142 N * 3.048 m = 434 J (I approximated the conversions- I hope it helps)
