ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
Work energy theorem
The total work done on a particle equals the change in its kinetic energy. In other words, to change the kinetic energy of a particle we have to apply a force on it and the force must do work on it. In the same if the velocity of the body is considered as the negligible during the climbs on the stairs then we can say that the work done is equal to the gain in potential energy.
