The highest occupiable floor of any building is in the Sears Tower in Chicago. The elevators of the central tower of the building lift passengers 436.0 m above street level. If a continuous forces of 22310 N is exerted on one of these elevator cars as it travels from the ground to the top floor, how much work is done on the elevator car by the elevator's lifting mechanism?

    Explanation:

    Given parameters:

    Height of elevator rise = 436m

    Force exerted = 22310N

    Unknown:

    Work done by the elevator lifting mechanism = ?

    Solution:

    The work done by a body is the force applied to move a body in a specific direction;

    Work done = force x distance moved

    In this case, the force and distance moved is provided already;

    Work done = 22310 x 436 = 9727160J
