An electric hoist does 196000 j of work in raising a 250.0 kg load. how high was the load lifted?

To find the height the load was lifted, we can use the formula for work done against gravity: ( W = mgh ), where ( W ) is the work done (196,000 J), ( m ) is the mass (250.0 kg), ( g ) is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.81 m/s²), and ( h ) is the height. Rearranging the formula to solve for height gives us ( h = \frac{W}{mg} ). Plugging in the values, we get ( h = \frac{196,000 , \text{J}}{250.0 , \text{kg} \times 9.81 , \text{m/s}^2} \approx 80.0 , \text{m} ). Thus, the load was lifted approximately 80 meters.
