Answer:

a. Work done = 313.92 Joules

b. Work done = 439.49 Joules

Explanation:

Work done = Force x distance

Where: Force = mass x gravity

Thus,

Work done = Force x gravity x distance

The earth's acceleration to gravity = 9.81 m/[tex]s^{2}[/tex].

a. The work done as it goes from B to A can be determined as;

work done = 4 x 9.81 x 8

                  = 313.92 Joules

b. The distance between A and C is the total horizontal distance covered from A to C.

i.e 8 + 3.2 = 11.2 m

The work done as the ball goes from point A to C can be determined as:

work done = 4 x 9.81 x 11.2

                  = 439.488

work done = 439.49 Joules
