A 6.2 "kilo" bag of sugar is on a counter. How much work is required to put the bag on a shelf a distance of 0.41 m above the counter?

is it 6.2/0.41

NO ASHLEY, IT IS NOT RIGHT AND YOU JUST MADE ME FAIL A QUIZ

To determine the amount of work required to lift the bag of sugar onto the shelf, we need to use the formula:

Work = Force × Distance × Cosine(θ)

Where:
- Work is the amount of work done (measured in joules, J)
- Force is the vertical force required to lift the bag (measured in newtons, N)
- Distance is the distance the bag needs to be lifted (measured in meters, m)
- θ is the angle between the applied force and the direction of motion (in this case, θ = 0° since the force is vertical)

To find the force required to lift the bag, we can use Newton's second law of motion:

Force = mass × acceleration

In this case, the acceleration will be the acceleration due to gravity, which is approximately 9.8 m/s² on Earth. We need to convert the mass of the sugar bag from kilograms (kg) to newtons (N) by multiplying it by the acceleration due to gravity.

Let's calculate the force first:

Force = 6.2 kg × 9.8 m/s²

Next, we can substitute the force and distance values into the work formula:

Work = (6.2 kg × 9.8 m/s²) × 0.41 m × Cosine(0°)

Since Cosine(0°) equals 1, we can simplify the equation:

Work = (6.2 kg × 9.8 m/s²) × 0.41 m × 1

Finally, we can calculate the work:

Work = 6.2 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 0.41 m

Now, multiply the numbers to get the final result.
