To solve these questions, I need the following information, which is not provided in the image: The weight of the backpack. The vertical distance (height) the climber ascends. The time taken for the climb. Please provide these values so I can calculate the answers. However, I can outline the formulas and steps you would use once you have the missing information: Let: F_backpack be the weight of the backpack (in Newtons, N). h be the vertical height climbed (in meters, m). t be the time taken for the climb (in seconds, s). F_climber = 645 \, N (given). (i) How much work does the climber do on the backpack? Work done (W) is calculated as the force applied multiplied by the distance moved in the direction of the force. In this case, the force is the weight of the backpack, and the distance is the height climbed. W_backpack = F_backpack × h Missing: F_backpack and h. (ii) If the climber weighs 645N, how much work does she do to lift herself and the backpack? The total force to be lifted is the sum of the climber's weight and the backpack's weight. W_total = (F_climber + F_backpack) × h W_total = (645 \, N + F_backpack) × h Missing: F_backpack and h. (iii) What is the average power developed by the climber? Average power (P) is the total work done divided by the time taken. P_average = W_totalt P_average = (645 \, N + F_backpack) × ht Missing: F_backpack, h, and t.
