Question
**Question:** If a 150 lb (pound) weight is lifted 2 feet upwards, how much work was done? Give answer in [lb ft]. Use three significant digits. **Solution:** To calculate the work done when lifting a weight, use the formula: \[ \text{Work} = \text{Force} \times \text{Distance} \] 1. **Force**: The weight of the object, 150 lb. 2. **Distance**: The distance the object is lifted, 2 feet. Substitute these values into the formula: \[ \text{Work} = 150 \, \text{lb} \times 2 \, \text{ft} = 300 \, \text{lb ft} \] Therefore, the work done is **300 lb ft**.
