* Work in Physics: In physics, work is done when a force causes an object to move a certain distance.
* Lifting an Object: When you lift an object, you apply an upward force (against gravity) to overcome the object's weight. This force causes the object to move upward, a distance from the floor to the shelf.
* Force and Displacement: Because you exert a force (lifting) and the object undergoes a displacement (moving upward), work is being done.
Formula for Work:
Work (W) = Force (F) x Distance (d)
* Force (F): The force you apply to lift the object (equal to its weight).
* Distance (d): The vertical distance from the floor to the shelf.
