Answer:
W = 9.8 J
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of the book, m = 2kg
A student lifts it from the floor to a desk that is 0.5 meters high.
We need to find work done by the student. The work done in lifting the book is given by :
W = mgh
Put all the values,
W = 2 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 0.5 m
W = 9.8 J
So, the required work done is 9.8 J.
