If an air condition compressor weighing 300lb had to be lifted 4ft to be mounted on a base how many ft lb of work must be accomplished?

To calculate the work done in lifting the air conditioning compressor, you can use the formula for work, which is the product of force and distance. In this case, the force is the weight of the compressor (300 lb), and the distance is the height it needs to be lifted (4 ft). Therefore, the work done is 300 lb × 4 ft = 1200 ft-lb.
