A person raises a box with a weight of 50 N by 0.5 m. How much word does the person do in this action?

1 answer

Work is calculated by the formula:

Work = force x distance

In this case, the force required to lift the box is 50 N and the distance it is lifted is 0.5 m.

Therefore, work = 50 N x 0.5 m = 25 Joules

So, the person does 25 Joules of work in raising the box by 0.5 m.
