Yes, you are working against the force of gravity when you lift something. The amount of work you do depends on the height you lift it by, h, and the mass of the object, m.

work = mgh, where g is the gravitational constant.

Why are you doing work when you lift something but not when you carry it?

Its just due to the "physical" definition of work. In order for a force to do work on an object it must move (at least some component of it) parallel to the force. So when lifting, the force is up and the movement is up and the force does work. In carrying, the force is up but the movement is horizontal. They are perpendicular and the force does no work. False


How do you get stronger by lifting?
