Answer:
490Nm
Explanation:
Given the following :
Mass of rock = 5kg
Height or distance = 10 meters
A rock with mass of 5kg is carried up a small hill 10 meters high. how much work had to be done in carrying the rock up hill?
Workdone is product of force and distance.
Workdone = force * distance
Recall :
Force = mass * acceleration due to gravity (g)
g = 9.8m/s^2
Force = 5 * 9.8 = 49 N
Therefore,
Workdone = 49 × 10 = 490Nm
