Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the Given Values
We are given:
The force exerted (weight of the lawn mower), \( F = 200 \, \text{N} \)
The height the lawn mower is lifted, \( h = 1.1 \, \text{m} \)
Step 2: Understand the Work Formula
The work done \( W \) is calculated using the formula:
\[ W = F \cdot d \]
where \( F \) is the force and \( d \) is the distance (height in this case).
Step 3: Calculate the Work Done
Substitute the given values into the formula:
\[ W = 200 \, \text{N} \times 1.1 \, \text{m} \]
\[ W = 220 \, \text{J} \]
