How many joules of work are done if you carry a box that weights 34 newtons up a ladder for a distance of 2 meters?

Solution:

In order to accomplish work on an object there must be a force exerted on the object and it must move in the direction of the force.

Work = Force * distance moved in direction of force

$$W = F d = 34 * 2 = 68 \, \text{J}$$

Answer: $W = 68 \, \text{J}$.
