How much work is done when a mass of 3kg(g=9.8N/kg) is lifted vertically through 6m?
as always, work = force * distance = mgh
3.27N
To calculate the work done, we need to use the formula:
Work = Force × Distance.
In this case, the force can be calculated using the equation:
Force = Mass × Acceleration due to gravity.
Given that the mass is 3 kg and the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 N/kg, we can calculate the force:
Force = 3 kg × 9.8 N/kg = 29.4 N.
Now that we have the force, we can calculate the work done by multiplying it by the distance:
Work = Force × Distance = 29.4 N × 6 m = 176.4 Joules.
Therefore, the work done is 176.4 Joules.
