Answer:
W = 6082.2 [J]
Explanation:
To solve such problems we must use the definition of work. Which tells us that work is equal to the product of force by a distance.
The force will be equal to the product of the mass combined by the gravitational force.
F = m * g
where:
m = combined mass = 60 + 2 = 62 [kg]
g = gravity = 9.81 [m/s^2]
F = 62 * 9.81 = 608.22 [N]
And the work done.
W = F * d
W = 608.22 * 10
W = 6082.2 [J] units in Joules
