An engine does 1421000 J of work to lift a beam 145 meters. How much force was exerted to lift the beam.
1566N
9800N
20445 N
50000N

Answer 1

9800 N

Step-by-step explanation:

applying,

W = Fd.................. Equation 1

Where W = work done by the engine, F = Force exterted to lift the beam, d = distance.

make F the subject of the equation

F = W/d............... Equation 2

From the question,

Given: W = 1421000 J, d = 145 meters.

Substitute these values into equation 2

F = 1421000/145

F = 9800 N
