Question

A rock is lifted by a machine to a height of 10m. If it has a mass of 22 kilograms

Answer 1

Answer:

2156J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Height of lift  = 10m

Mass  = 22kg

Unknown:

Work done by the machine  = ?

Solution:

Work done is the force applied to move a body through a certain distance.

So;

        Work done  = Force x distance

Here;

       Work done  = mass x acceleration due to gravity x height

      Work done  = 22 x 9.8 x 10  = 2156J
