work is equal to a change in energy. in this case there is a change in potential energy.

potential energy = mass x gravity x height

E(p)=mgh

E(p)= 3x9.8x40

E(p)=1176 J

thus there is a change in potential energy of 1176 joules

and since W=change E(p)

Work done is 1176 J

An object with a mass of 21kilograms is lifted through a distance of 7 meters How much work is done?

use the formula W = mgs W stands for work done in joules m stands for mass of the object g stands for gravity s stands for the distance the object is lifted W = mgs W = 78kilograms•9.8m/s2•6meters W = 4586.4 J (joules) answer would be 4,586.4 J


The work done to lift a 30kg of bricks to a height of 20m is equal to?

Work = Force x DistanceForce = Mass X Gravity (Near earth approximation)SoWork = 30kg x 9.8 m/s2 x 20m = 5880 joules


How many joules of work are done when a 200 kg box is lifted 5 meters above the floor?

The work done is equal to the change in potential energy, which can be calculated as (mass x gravity x height). Plugging in the values: (200 kg x 9.8 m/s^2 x 5 m) = 9800 J. Therefore, 9800 joules of work are done when the box is lifted 5 meters above the floor.


A 10 KG mass is lifted to a height of meters what is its weight?

To get the weight (in Newton), multiply the mass by Earth's gravitation - about 9.8, in SI units.


If mass is 30kg what does it mass on earth?

If an object has a mass of 30 kg, its mass on Earth would also be 30 kg. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, and it remains the same regardless of the gravitational force acting on it.


An object of mass 4.5 is lifted through a distance of 10m H ow much work is done?

I believe that when you say 'lifted through', you mean lifted to a height of 10m. If so, the amount of work is such: Work= Force x Distance which have the units (Joules = Newtons x meters) When the object is lifted, it increases in its potential energy. The equation for this is: Potential energy = mass x gravitational force x height = 4.5 x 9.81 x 10 =441.45 Joules As 1 joule = 1 newton x meters and we have 441.45 Joules, 441.45 joules of works is done! :D

Is 30kg greater than 30 meters?

By unit of length and mass and conversion ,we can say that m and kilograms both belong to different categories and hence cant be converted into each other .so,cant be determined.
