Physics help?

Early one February morning you go outside to build a snow man. You make a 3.8kg snowball and lift it to a height of 1.25m, then carry it 25m on level ground with a force of 1.0N to your snowman and then lift it up the rest of the way to set as the head of a 2.5m snowman. How much work do you do on the snowball as you transport it and position it on your masterpiece?

    Horizontal work = force * distance

    Vertical work = mass * g * height

    Add the two.
