  • Q5
    How would you calculate the work done lifting a sack of onions onto a table?
    Work done = mass of the onions × height of the table
    Work done = mass of the onions ÷ height of the table
    Work done = weight of the onions × height of the table
    Work done = weight of the onions ÷ height of the table
