A well fed squirrel (mass of 1. 2 kg) does push-ups by applying a force to elevate its center-of-mass by 5 cm. Calculate the number of push-ups that the squirrel must do in order to do 18. 0 Joules of work. Hints: The formula requires a Force. The formula to calculate weight (aka your downward force) is w=mg. Use 10. 0 for g. The formula requires displacement in "meters". Convert (cm) to (m). If the squirrel does a total of 18. 0 Joules of work, then it must have done _ push-ups.
