How much work should be done to lift a 5kg brick to the height of 12m

588 joules

Explanation:

Work is done when force is applied on an object over a distance ( whether vertical or horizontal). It is measured in joules.

Thus, Workdone = Force X distance

- Vertical distance to be moved by the brick = 12 metres

- Mass of box = 5kg

- Acceleration due to gravity when box was lifted represented by g is a constant with value of 9.8m/s^2

Now, recall that Force = Mass x acceleration due to gravity

i.e Force = 5kg x 9.8m/s^2

Force = 49 Newton

So, Workdone = Force X Distance

Workdone = 49 Newton X 12 metres

Workdone = 588 joules

Thus, 588 joules of work was done.
