Answer:

4116J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the person  = 70kg

Height of the ladder  = 6m

Unknown:

Work done  = ?

Solution:

The work done by the person climbing is the same as the potential energy.

Work done is the force applied to move a body through a distance;

So;

   Potential energy  = mass x acceleration due to gravity x height

Therefore;

    Potential energy  = 70 x 9.8 x 6   = 4116J
