Answer
Here's how to calculate the work done:* **Formula:** Work (W) = Force (F) x Distance (d)* **Force:** Force is equal to mass (m) times acceleration due to gravity (g). We'll use g = 9.8 m/s². So, F = 50 kg * 9.8 m/s² = 490 N (Newtons)* **Distance:** d = 23 meters* **Calculation:** W = 490 N * 23 m = 11,270 JoulesTherefore, the work done lifting the crate is
Joules.
