Answer:
a) 9000 ft-lb
b) 9000 ft-lb
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation for the work:
The equation for the work done is given by:
[tex]W = Fd[/tex]
In which F is the force needed and d is the distance. The time does not interfere on the work.
A 300-lb gorilla climbs a tree to a height of 30 ft
This means that [tex]F = 300, h = 30[/tex]
Thus
[tex]W = Fd = 300(30) = 9000[/tex]
The work done in both cases is of 9000 ft-lb, as the work is not a function of time.
