Question

Ann and Carol each lift the timber with a force of 80 kg/m/s2. If they lift the timber a distance of 1.25 meters, how much work is each woman doing? Question 1 options:A.64.00 J B.78.75 J C.81.25 J D. 100.00 J Save

Answer 1

Hello

1) The formula to calculate the work done when moving an object is

`W=Fd`
where W is the work, F is the force applied to the object, and d is the displacement of the object.

2) Therefore, since we know the force
`F=80~Kg/m/s^2=80~N` and the displacement
`d=1.25~m`, we can calculate the work done by each woman:

`W=Fd=80~N \cdot 1.25~m = 100~J`
