hi,

6000 J of work which is done is converted into gravitational potential energy (neglecting friction) assume g=10m/s2

6000=m*10*20

m=30kg.

plzzzz approve!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

workdone against gravity  = mgH

 m=? , g = 10 , H =20 so

W(gravity) = 200m

W = 6000 is given so

200m = 6000

   m = 30kg
