An engine is used to lift a beam weighing 9,800 N up to 145 m. How much work must the engine do to lift this beam? How much work must be done to lift it 290 m?

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of the engine used to lift a beam, W = 9800 N

Distance, d = 145 m

Work done by the engine to lift the beam is given by :

W = F d

Let W' is the work must be done to lift it 290 m. It is given by :

Hence, this is the required solution.
