Gonz Insulation – What is the Work Required to Lift a Box?

Attic insulation provides home insulation in attics, crawl spaces, and rim joists of existing homes as well as during the rough-in phase of construction on new residential, commercial, or pole barn projects. This spray insulation expands to fill the nooks and crannies of your home’s or building envelope, making it cozier and more energy-efficient. It also prevents drafts and air leaks, which are common causes of high energy bills. It reduces outside noise pollution and prevents pest intrusion.

Work is the transfer of energy, and it can change the potential energy in a mechanical system, the thermal energy in a thermal system, or the electrical energy in an electric circuit. The amount of work required to lift a given object depends on its mass and the distance over which it travels. For example, the work done to lift a 100 kg box over your head is 10 N x 2 m = 20 J. The work done by a moving string in a circular motion is zero, because the internal forces on the string and at the supporting pulley do no net work.
