Question

The forklift exerts a 1,500.0 N force on the box and moves it 3.00 m forward to the stack. How much work does the forklift do against the force of gravity?

A) 1.50 × 10^3 J

B) 0.00 J

C) 500 J

D) 4.50 × 10^3 J

I think it is D, but I can also justify B, please help!

Answer 1

The answer is D using the work formula
W= F•d but if it was against gravity, it would be 0 if gravity is exerting the same amount, I would pick D using the formula, but I'm not so sure sorry
