Answer:
Work done = 5.8 × 10⁵ J (Approx)
Explanation:
Given:
Mass of the beam (m) = 425 kg
Distance (s) = 117 m
Acceleration (a) = 1.8 m/s²
Find:
Work done.
Computation:
⇒ Work done = Force × Displacement
⇒ Work done = Mass (Acceleration + Acceleration of gravity) × Displacement
⇒ Work done = 425 (1.8 + 9.81) × 117
⇒ Work done = 425 (11.61) × 117
⇒ Work done = 577,307.25
⇒ Work done = 5.8 × 10⁵ J (Approx)
