To calculate the work done by Muhammad, we can use the formula:
Work = Force × Distance
The force exerted on the timber can be calculated using the weight formula:
Force = Mass × Gravity
where the mass is 8.0kg and gravity is 10 m/s².
Force = 8.0kg × 10 m/s² = 80 N
Now we can substitute the force and distance into the work formula:
Work = Force × Distance
Work = 80N × 5.0m = 400 Joules
Therefore, Muhammad is doing 400 Joules of work.
Muhammad lifts. an 8.0kg piece of timber a distance of 5.0m How muck work is he doing?
(use 10 m/s for gravity)
