How much work is done against gravity when lowering a 16 kg box 0.50 m? (g = 9.8 m/s2)

The work done against gravity is 78.4 J

Explanation:

The work is calculated by multiplying the force by the distance that the

object moves

W = F × d, where W is the work , F is the force and d is the distance

The SI unit of work is the joule (J)

We need to find the work done against gravity when lowering a

16 kg box 0.50 m

→ F = mg

→ m = 16 kg, and g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these value in the rule

→ F = 16 × 9.8 = 156.8 N

→ W = F × d

→ F = 156.8 N and d = 0.50

Substitute these values in the rule

→ W = 78.4 J

The work done against gravity is 78.4 J
