How is work done by a force measured? $A$ porter lifts a luggage of $20 \, kg$ from the ground and puts it on his head $1.7 \, m$ above the ground. Find the work done by the porter on the luggage. $(g = 10 \, m s^{-2})$

  • A
    Work is the product of force and displacement. The work done is $340 \, J$.
  • B
    Work is the product of force and displacement. The work done is $34 \, J$.
  • C
    Work is the product of force and displacement. The work done is $3.4 \, J$.
  • D
    Work is the product of force and displacement. The work done is $3400 \, J$.
