Question

How much work is done by a crane that lowers 1,000 newtons of material a distance of 150 meters?​

Answer 1

Work done by the crane is 150,000 J

Step-by-step explanation:

• Work done by an object is defined as the amount of energy being transferred from one object to another over a distance by applying force on it.
• The formula to find work done is work done, W = F d, where F is the force applied and d is the distance at which you applied the force.

Given parameters are,

Force applied, F = 1000 N

Distance, d = 150 m

Hence, apply in the formula, W = 1000 X 150 = 150,000 J

• Work done by the crane is 150,000 J
