A person raises a box with the weight of 50 N x 0.5 m how much work does the person do in this action

1 answer

The work done by a person in raising a box can be calculated using the formula:

Work = Force x Distance x Cos(theta)

where:
- Force = 50 N (weight in Newtons)
- Distance = 0.5 m (height raised in meters)
- Cos(theta) = 1 (assuming the angle between the force and displacement is 0 degrees)

Plugging in the values, we get:

Work = 50 N x 0.5 m x 1
Work = 25 Joules

Therefore, the person does 25 Joules of work in raising the box.
