Answer: 87500J
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Power exerted by crane = 3,500 W
Time taken = 25 seconds
work done by crane = ?
Since power is the rate of work done per unit time, then power is workdone by the crane divided by the time taken.
i.e power = work / time
3,500 W = work / 25 seconds
Work = 3500W x 25 seconds
Work = 87500J
Thus, 87500 joules of work was done by the crane.
