Givens:
- m = 100 kg
- h = 20 m
- g = 9.8 m/s² (standard)

Formula (force required to hold or lift at constant velocity):
- F = m g

Substitute and solve:
- F = (100 kg)(9.8 m/s²) = 980 N

(If you meant the work done lifting 20 m:)
- W = F · h = 980 N · 20 m = 19,600 J

Notes:
- The 980 N is the upward force needed to oppose gravity if Doc lifts at constant speed. If Doc accelerates upward, the required force would be larger. If you prefer g ≈ 10 m/s², then F ≈ 1000 N and W ≈ 20,000 J.
