A crane lifts an air conditioner to the top of a building. If the building is 12 m high, and the air conditioner has a mass of 200 kg, how much work did the crane do to lift it? (Hint: the force the crane exerts is equal to the weight of the air conditioner)

Sagot :

Work needed = 23,520 J

Further explanation

Given

height = 12 m

mass = 200 kg

Required

work needed by the crane

Solution

Work is the transfer of energy caused by the force acting on a moving object  

Work is the product of force with the displacement of objects.  

Can be formulated  

W = F x d  

W = Work, J, Nm  

F = Force, N  

d = distance, m  

F = m x g

Input the value :

W = mgd

W = 200 kg x 9.8 m/s²x12 m

W = 23520 J
