Question

A 500-kg elevator is pulled upward with a constant force of 5500 n for a distance of 50.0 m. what is the work done by the weight of the elevator?

Answer 1

The formula to calculate the work is given by:
 W = F * d
  where W is work, F is force and d is distance

   So then:
 W = 5500 * 50 = 275,000 joules
 The work done is 275,000 joules
