Work Step by Step

The work done when a hoist lifts a $200-kg $ rock to a height of $3 m$ is given by : $$ \begin{aligned} W&=F d=(m g) d\\ &=\left[(200 \mathrm{kg})\left(9.8 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\right)\right](3 \mathrm{m}) \\ &=(1960 \mathrm{N})(3 \mathrm{m}) \\ &=5880 \mathrm{J} \end{aligned} $$ where, $g$ is the gravity.
