Aman weighing 48 newtons climbs a 2.0 m ladder how much work is done a) 0.0 j b) 24 j c) 96 j d) 124 j

When an object that weighs 48 newtons is raised 2 meters anywhere on or near the Earth's surface, its gravitational potential energy increases by (48 • 2)= 96 joules. Using the law of Conservation of Energy, we know that it must take at least 96 joules of work, then, to raise the object.

I can't see this scenario involving a 48-newton man and a ladder, though. The poor guy only weighs about 10.8 pounds, he probably can't even walk yet, and he has no business around ladders.

What even is this. where is the question
