After a trip to the store a 70.0-kg person is carrying heavy bags perpendicular to the direction of motion. How much work is being done by the person on the bags? Use the definition of work to show your result.
b) He takes a rest on a bench and leaves his bags on the ground. Sketch a free-body diagram for each of the three objects shown in the Figure.
c) Once he gets back to his apartment building he takes an elevator up. What acceleration of the elevator is necessary for his weight to increase by 10.0%?
Work being done by the person on the bags is Zero since Force and dispalcement are perpendicular hence
Work done can be calculate using below formula
Where
