Detailed Solution

When an object is lifted upwards two forces are acting on it, which are the force of gravity equal to the weight of the object and the force with which the object is pulled.
When the force and the displacement point are in the same direction, the work done is deemed positive. The force acting on an item must be in the same direction as the object's displacement for work to be considered positive. When an object is lifted upwards, two distinct and opposite forces act on it. When an object is lifted, two distinct and opposite forces are simultaneously acting on it:
● The force with which the object is pulled upwards
● The force of gravity is equal to the weight of the object acting downwards
