Question 28
Easy

The diagram below shows a heavy treasure chest being salvaged from the seabed by a research vessel.

A heavy chest is being pulled vertically upwards by a cable with a force of 3200 N over a height of 18 m.

A constant upward tension force of 3200 N in the cable lifts the chest vertically through a distance of 18 m.

Calculate the work done by the tension force on the chest.

Use the equation:

work done=force×distance moved in the direction of the force \text{work done} = \text{force} \times \text{distance moved in the direction of the force} work done=force×distance moved in the direction of the force

State the unit of work done.
