How much work does it take to raise a #31 kg # weight #56 m #? Physics Work and Energy Work 1 Answer Jane Mar 12, 2018 Here work(#W#) is done against the gravitational force,to supply necessary amount of potential energy to be at a height of #56m# above the ground.(considering ground to be the reference level) So#W=mgh=31×9.8×56= 17012.8J# Answer link Related questions What is a force?
