I'm not going to do all of your homework for you. Show some work of your own and someone will critique it.
(460 kJ)(x) = (20kg)(9.8 m/s2)(.6 m)
460,000 J (x) = 117.6
460,000/117.6 = x
3912 times of lifting the barbell
But, here is where I lose it,
if it is 10% efficient, then wouldn't he have to do 10 times as much?
39120 lifts?
Please show me where I am going wrong.
