This time, we need to determine how the work ww of lifting the book done by the person relates to the final gravitational potential energies of the book that we calculated in questions a) and b). For that, we will use the following data:

  • Mass of the book: m=1.65 kgm=1.65\text{ kg};
  • Final height of the book: h=2.2 mh=2.2\text{ m}.
