Answer: 7291.2 joules
Explanation:
Work is done when force is applied on an object over a distance.
Thus, Workdone = Force X distance
Since Distance moved by box = 12 metres
mass of box = 62kg
Acceleration due to gravity when box was lifted is represented by g = 9.8m/s^2
Recall that Force = Mass x acceleration due to gravity
i.e Force = 62kg x 9.8m/s^2
= 607.6 Newton
So, Workdone = Force X Distance
Workdone = 607.6 Newton X 12 metres
Workdone = 7291.2 joules
Thus, 7291.2 joules of work was done.
