Understanding the Concepts
* Work: Work is done when a force causes an object to move a certain distance. It's calculated as:
* Work (W) = Force (F) x Distance (d)
* Force: In this case, the force is the weight of the object, which is a force due to gravity.
* Distance: This is the vertical height the object is raised.
Calculation
1. Identify the values:
* Force (F) = 56.4 N (Newtons)
* Distance (d) = 9.1 m (meters)
2. Apply the formula:
* Work (W) = 56.4 N * 9.1 m
3. Calculate the result:
* Work (W) = 513.24 J (Joules)
Answer: The work done to raise the object is 513.24 Joules.
