Question

Find the mass, in kilograms, of an object that requires 6,444 J of work to lift it to a height of 33 meters.

 

Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Expert Solution
Step 1:

Given: Work (W)=6.4 kJ

           Height (h)= 33 m

Solution : As we know,

                Work done (W)=mgh

                       where, m = mass

                                   g= acceleration due to gravity.= 9.81 m/s^2

                                   h= height.

therefore, m = Wgh=64449.81×33=19.76 Kg
