To determine if you can lift a 160 kg object with your bare hands, we need to consider the force required to lift it. The gravitational force acting on the object is given by: where is the mass of the object and is the acceleration due to gravity. Since your average strength is , which is greater than , you can lift the object with your bare hands.Next, to determine if you can do 1600 Joules of work on it, we use the formula for work: where is the work done, is the force applied, and is the distance over which the force is applied. If you apply a force equal to the gravitational force (1568 N) to lift the object vertically, you can calculate the distance needed to perform 1600 Joules of work: Therefore, you can do 1600 Joules of work on the object by lifting it approximately 1.02 meters vertically.
