(b) How much work is done by Brutus holding the weights above his head in Joules?
(c) How much work is done by Brutus lowering them back to the ground in Joules?
(e) If Brutus completes the lift in 2.4 s, how much power is developed?

Physics news on Phys.org


you know the mass. and the distance that the mass is lifted.
so calculate the force of the mass
then calculate the work done
