Answer:

2800000J

Step-by-step explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass = 920kg, weight = 920 * 9.8 = 9016N

Distance = 310m

Angle of inclination = 6.5°

Work done is given as :

W = F*d*cosA

Where A = angle of inclination

W = (9016 * 310 * cos6.5)

W = 2776993.59J

In 2 significant figures, W = 2800000J
