Detailed Solution
Our system consists of the suit case and the earth. work done by you = change in K.E. of the system + change in P.E. of the system. Now, change in K.E of earth = 0 change in K.E. of the suitcase = 0, change in P.E. of the system = mgh where m = mass of the suitcase, h = height of table. Since gravitational force is a conservative force, work done does not depend upon path. Also work done does not depend upon the weight of the person who is doing work. Time determines the average power delivered by the person but the work done is independent of the time.
