Answer:
The spiral staircase will require more work
Explanation:
This is because, work can be calculated as force (which is mass of the individual climbing the stairs in this case) multiplied by distance (or length) of the stairs. The only variable that changes in the work done while climbing any of the two (ladder or spiral staircase) is the distance and it is obvious the length of the spiral staircase will be longer; thus the spiral staircase will involve more work.
