It depends on the weight. The work required in joules (kg*m2/s2) is equal to the force applied in newtons and the displacement, or distance, in meters.

Thus, for an object that weights 1 N (multiply the weight of the object by the gravitational acceleration, 9.81 m/s2 to transfer to newtons) will require 1 N * 3 m = 3 J.

Thus, the formula for work is:

W = Fd

"W" is the work done on the system.

"F" is the force in newtons

"d" is the displacement (or distance) of the object in meters.
