1.

Approximately how much work do you do (in Joules) when you lift your 10.0 kg sister to a height of 1.5 m?

NOTE: MASS x GRAVITY = WEIGHT [FG]

[NUMBER ONLY/ NO UNITS]

2.

A particular lever is 90.0% efficient. If 50.0 J of input work are done on the lever, then how much output work does the lever do, on its load?

[NO UNITS/ NUMBER ONLY]

3.

The mechanical advantage of a pulley system is 4.00. Using this pulley system, how much force do you need to exert to lift a 500.0 N box?

[Reminder: Pulleys REDUCE force through Mechanical Advantage]

[NO UNITS/ NUMBER ONLY]
