w=m x g x d
On earth: Potential energy = mgh so: 2kg * 9,81m/s^2 * 5m = 98,1 Joule
Well obviously it depends on the mass being lifted, which is the elevator itself, the people in it, and their luggage if any. If the height of one floor is say 3 meters, the amount of energy used will be M x 9.81 x 3 Joules. M=mass in kg, 9.81 = the gravitational acceleration in meters/sec2. Let this energy be E Joules. 1 Joule = 1 watt.sec, so we have E watt.secs, then you can scale this to KWh (kilowatt.hours), and so get a figure for the amount of electricity used, then multiply this by the cost per KWh. Taking a figure to get the ball park area, I would guess the elevator and 4 people plus luggage at 2000 kg. Then E = 58,860 Joules = 58,860 watt.secs = 0.01635 kilowatt.hours. (3600 seconds in 1 hour). So it is a small amount of electricity and a small amount of money, the exact amount will depend on what your electricity costs per unit (one unit is usually 1 kilowatt.hour)
A square meter is a unit for an area. If you have a room that is 3 meters by 4 meters, it has a floor area of 3x4=12 square meters. This unit can not be converted to regular meters because they measure two different sort of things.
Have you access to the floor above it? if you do, try to life some floorboards and see what you can find. If the ceiling is the bottom of the attic, find a way in and check out the pipes. If you can't access floor above, ask whoever lives there to have a look for you.
The correct sitting position: Your arms should be resting parallel to the floor, your legs should be in the same position and your feet should be flat. Your back should be against the chair, and your shoulders should be back (but not lifted or hunched).

The idea here is to multiply the force by the distance.

The potential energy is 147 joules.
The work done is stored as potential energy of the box P=Mgh F=Ma (a=g) F=Mg h=5m Therefore the work done is 20*5 = 100 joules -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Work = Force x distance So since the barbell is 500N and the barbell travels 2.2 meters it becomes 500N x 2.2m = 1100 joules (N x m)
h
m g h = (5.00) x (9.8) x (0.75) = 36.75 newton-meters = 36.75 joules, with respect to the floor.
GPE = m*g*h = 294 Joules.

Sure. When a 6-kg bowling ball is resting on a shelf that's 2 meters off the floor, it has 12 joules of gravitational potential energy referenced to the floor.
We must assume that the force pushes parallel to the floor.Work = (force) x (distance) = (800) x (1.5) = 1,200 newton-meters = 1,200 joules
