What kind of work does an excavator do when lifting a load weighing 1 ton (ton) to a height of 5 m?

To begin with, let’s translate tons into kilograms – 1t = 1000kg.
Find the force of gravity F = mg = 1000kg * 10N / kg = 10000N
Now let’s calculate the work A = Fs = 10000N * 5 = 50000J
Answer: 50000J
