Question 34
a.

A student has an object with a mass of 6.0 kg6.0\text{ kg}6.0 kg.

Calculate the weight of the object. (Take g=10 N/kgg = 10\text{ N/kg}g=10 N/kg)

b.

The student lifts the 6.0 kg6.0\text{ kg}6.0 kg object from the floor onto a shelf. He does 90 J90\text{ J}90 J of work on the object in lifting it onto the shelf.

State the amount of gravitational potential energy gained by the object due to being lifted onto the shelf.
