What is work?

Work can be defined as the product of force and distance.

To calculate the amount of work that the student needs to do in order to climb the stairs, we use the formula below

Formula:

  • W = mgh............ Equation 1

Where:

  • W = Work done by the student in order to climb the stairs.
  • m = mass of the student
  • g = acceleration due to gravity
  • h = height of the student

From the question,

given:

  • m = 50 kg
  • g = 9.8 m/s²
  • h = 6.5 m

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • W = 50(9.8)(6.5)
  • W = 3185 J

Hence, the amount of work that the student needs to do in order to climb the stairs is 3185 J.
