Answer:
Work done, W = 2675.4 J
Given:
mass, m = 70.0 kg
height, H = 3.90 m
Solution:
According to the question, as the person jumps the stairs up, there is an increase in the potential energy of the person which is provided by the work done in climbing the stairs and is given by:
Work done, W = mgH
where
g = acceleration due to gravity = [tex]9.8 m/s^{2}[tex]
[tex]W = 70.0\times 9.8\times 3.90 = 2675.4 J[/tex]
