An object of mass 5 kg is lifted vertically to a height of 2.0 m above the ground. If the acceleration due to gravity at the place is 10 m/s2, what is the amount of work done?

Solution

Mass of the object, m = 5 kg
The object is lifted vertically to a height, h = 2 m
Force applied is equal to the weight of object = mg = 5 x 10 = 50 N
