Answer:

1800 J

Explanation:

We are given that

Weightlifter hold weight, w=1500N

Height of weightlifter from ground,h=1m

Length of chain=2m

Total weight of chain, w'=400 N

We have to find the work done required to lift the barbell to height of 2m.

Total work done=Work done to lift  a barbell and half of the chain+ work done  to lift the upper half of the chain

Total work done=[tex]1500+\frac{1}{2}(400)+\frac{1}{2}(400)(\frac{1}{2}(1))[/tex]

Total work done=[tex]1700+100[/tex]

Total work done=1800 J

Hence, work done is required to lift the barbell to a height of 2 m=1800 J
