If you can't multiply two scalar quantities and get the right units, you're not going to pass physics.





180 N * 0.550 m = 99 J.
Reply:work done = weight x distance raised


= 180N x .55m


= 99 N-m
Reply:Duh, if hes on the box he cant lift it so he didnt do any work.


OMG your so dummmm.
Reply:formula... w=fd


work= force* distance..
Reply:well, from what my calculatiopns tell me, it looks like he does ALL the work, or is someone else helping him?


You're welcome
