Question

A 337kg crate needs to be lifted to a height of 2.3m using a ramp that is 7.6m long. Ideally, how much work will it take to lift the crate?

Answer 1

I found: `~~7596J`

Explanation:

I think that you can use the work done against gravity as:
`W_g=mgh`
with your data:
`W_g=337*9.8*2.3~~7596J`

You can also try using the force needed to push the crate (equal to the `y` component of the weight) and the distance and you'll get the same result.
