Solid Snake (75 kg) carries 18 kg of equipment. If Solid Snake climbs 27 flights of stairs, each 5.5 m in height, the work done against gravity is 135.34 kJ (c).

What is work?

In physics, work is the energy transferred to or from an object via the application of force along a displacement.

In this problem, the force that does the work is the one that opposes the weight.

  • Step 1: Calculate the total weight of the system.

Solid Snake is 75 kg and is carrying 18 kg of equipment. The total mass is:

m = 75 kg + 18 kg = 93 kg

We can calculate the weight using Newton's second law of motion.

F = m . g = 93 kg . 9.8 m/s² = 911.4 N

  • Step 2: Calculate the total displacement.

Solid Snake climbs 27 flights of stairs, each 5.5 m in height.

27 . 5.5 m = 148.5 m

  • Step 3: Calculate the work done.

We will use the definition of work.

w = F . s = (911.4 N) . (148.5 m) . (1 kJ/1000 J) = 135.34 kJ

Solid Snake (75 kg) carries 18 kg of equipment. If Solid Snake climbs 27 flights of stairs, each 5.5 m in height, the work done against gravity is 135.34 kJ (c).
