Video Example
EXAMPLE 1

(a) How much work is done in lifting a 1.3-kg book off the floor to put it on a desk that
is 0.9 m high? Use the fact that the acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.8 m/s2.

(b) How much work is done in lifting a 23-lb weight 5 ft off the ground?

SOLUTION

(a) The force exerted is equal and opposite to that exerted by gravity, so the force is

d2s
F = m   = mg = (1.3)(9.8) =
N
dt2
and then the work done is

W = Fd = 

(0.9) =
J.

(b) Here the force is given as F = 23 lb, so the work done is

W = Fd = 23 · 5 =
ft-lb.
Notice that in part (b), unlike part (a), we did not have to multiply by g because we were
given the weight (which is a force) and not the mass of the object.

EXAMPLE 4
A 200-lb cable is 100 ft long and hangs vertically from the top of a tall
building. How much work is required to lift the cable to the top of the building?

SOLUTION
Here we don't have a formula for the force function, but we can use an
argument similar to the one that led to the definition of work.

Let's place the origin at the top of the building and the x-axis pointing downward as in
the figure. We divide the cable into small parts with length Δx. If xi* is a point in the
ith such interval, then all points in the interval are lifted by approximately the same
amount, namely xi*. The cable weighs
pounds per foot, so the weight of
the ith part is 2 Δx. Thus the work done on the ith part, in foot-pounds, is

Video Example

We get the total work done by adding all these approximations and letting the number

of parts become large (so Δx → 0):

n 100
W  =  lim  2xi*Δx  =  2x dx
n → ∞  0
