    Answer:

    a) 9000 ft-lb

    b) 9000 ft-lb

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Equation for the work:

    The equation for the work done is given by:

    W = Fd

    In which F is the force needed and d is the distance. The time does not interfere on the work.

    A 300-lb gorilla climbs a tree to a height of 30 ft

    This means that F = 300, h = 30

    Thus

    W = Fd = 300(30) = 9000

    The work done in both cases is of 9000 ft-lb, as the work is not a function of time.
