• They have done the same amount of work

Elliot has done 1788 joules of work, he exerted 223.5 N of force on a pulley to lift a $1,000 in quarters . How many meters did Elliot lift the quarters?

• 24 meters

• 8 meters

• 47 meters

The pulley system on the left shows a block weighing 75 N connected to one string and another block weighing 100 N connected to the other string. The pulley system on the right is identical except the 100 N block is replaced by a force of 100 N downward.

Initially the systems are at rest but because of the imbalance of forces, the 75 N blocks on both systems move upward and eventually reach the top of the pulley.

Which 75 N block hits the pulley first?

• The system on the left.

• The system on the right.

• Both systems hit at the same time.
