The purpose is to reduce the force that must be applied to raise a load. The inclined plane and rollers were used in building the pyramids in Egypt. To raise a body vertically a force must be applied that is equal to the weight of the body. The amount of work done in raising the body is equal to its weigt times the distance through which it is raised. If friction is ignored, the work done using the inclined plane will be exactly equal to the work done in lifting the body directly.

No, unless both are zero. No work is done in a horizontal motion. mGh is work in a vertical direction.
R4S8, and there is nothing further that can be done without more information.
While just holding the weight on his shoulder, the weight lifter does no work! For work to be done, the mass must be moved through a distance … No Movement, No Work! (but don't tell that to a weight lifter …)
The work done is calculated as the force applied multiplied by the distance moved in the direction of the force. In this case, the work done is 12 joules, as the weight of 6.0 N moved a distance of 2 meters vertically against gravity.
When a force (no matter how large it may be) is applied to any object without a distance being moved,it cannot be workdone because,workdone = force x distance.
When a force (no matter how large it may be) is applied to any object without a distance being moved,it cannot be workdone because,workdone = force x distance.
The work done would be zero, since the weight lifter is not moving the weight vertically. Work is defined as force applied in the direction of motion. Holding a weight in a static position does not result in any work being done.
The work is done when the fan moves air, imparting kinetic energy to the air.
Work done is a scalar quantity. It is defined as the product of force and distance in the direction of the force, and does not have a direction associated with it.

The work done would be calculated by multiplying the force (weight) by the distance moved in the direction of the force. In this case, the work done would be 56.4 N * 9.1 m = 513.24 J (joules).
Work done by a force is zero when the force is applied perpendicular to the direction of motion of the object. Another scenario is when the force is applied but there is no displacement of the object.
It can be done either way, and usually left-to-right if done horizontally (the right-to-left order is typically done for signs that mark the name of certain buildings). If done vertically, it would be top-down, right-to-left (although the top-down, left-to-right order is gaining popularity).
