How much work would it take to push a 8 kg weight up a 5 m plane that is at an incline of pi / 12 ? Physics Work and Energy Work 1 Answer ali ergin Feb 20, 2016 W~=101,56J Explanation: alpha=pi/12*180/pi=15^o h=5*sin 15^o~=1,294 m E_p=m*g*h "Potential energy gained by object raised from ground" E_p=W" work done equal to the Potential Energy" W=m*g*h W=8*9,81*1,294 W~=101,56J Answer link Related questions What is a force?
