Answer:
The only work done is when the person lifts the sack over a distance, W = 78.48 [N]
Explanation:
We have to remember the definition of work, which tells us that work is the result of a force by a distance, we must apply this concept in each of the movements of the person in the problem described.
W = F * d
where:
F = force [N]
d = distance [m]
The force is given by the producto of the mass by the gravity.
F = 5 * 9.81 = 49.05 [N]
W = 49.05 * 1.6 = 78.48 [N]
