Detailed Solution

The work done by the man against gravity is given by 4.41kJ.
Work done is given by the equation
= mgh
Where
m = mass
g = acceleration due to gravity
= height
Given:
Mass m=15kg
g=9.8 ms2
h=1.5m
The work done against gravity in lifting one box
= mgh =15× 1.5 J×9.8 = 220.5 g J 
The work done against gravity in lifting 20 boxes
= 20 × 220.5 g= 4410 g J 
= 4410 J
=4.41 kJ
