An upward force is applied to a 6.0–kilogram box. this force displaces the box upward by 10.00 meters. what is the work done by the force on the box? a. 6.0 × 101 joules b. -6.0 × 101 joules c. 5.9 × 102 joules d. -5.9 × 102 joules

W ≈ 5.9 × J

Hence, option (c) is correct.

Given:

mass of box = 6 kg

Displacement of box = 10 m

To find:

Work done by the force = ?

Formula used:

Work done is equal to change is potential energy,

W = m g h

Where, W = Work done

m = mass of the box

h = displacement by the force

Solution:

Work done is equal to change is potential energy,

W = m g h

Where, W = Work done

m = mass of the box

h = displacement by the force

W = 6 × 9.8 ×10

W = 588 Joule

Thus, W ≈ 5.9 × J

Hence, option (c) is correct.
