How much work does it take to raise a #9 kg # weight #12 m #?
Since the weight is being raised, the weight's total energy transferred (or work done) will be equal to its increased gravitational potential energy.
The gravitational potential energy can be found using this formula:
where:
Thus, we obtain:

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.

- A ball with a mass of #144 g# is projected vertically by a spring loaded contraption. The spring in the contraption has a spring constant of #36 (kg)/s^2# and was compressed by #6/4 m# when the ball was released. How high will the ball go?
- An object with a mass of #18 kg# is hanging from an axle with a radius of #15 cm#. If the wheel attached to the axle has a radius of #45 cm#, how much force must be applied to the wheel to keep the object from falling?
- A ball with a mass of #150 g# is projected vertically by a spring loaded contraption. The spring in the contraption has a spring constant of #18 (kg)/s^2# and was compressed by #4/3 m# when the ball was released. How high will the ball go?
- An object with a mass of #8 kg# is hanging from an axle with a radius of #30 m#. If the wheel attached to the axle has a radius of #96 m#, how much force must be applied to the wheel to keep the object from falling?
- A balanced lever has two weights on it, one with mass #12 kg# and one with mass #15 kg#. If the first weight is # 4 m# from the fulcrum, how far is the second weight from the fulcrum?
