A crane lifts a load of logs 3 meters with a force of 5,200 Newtons. How much work did the crane do?
a
15,600 J
b
1560 J
c
150 J
d
150,000 J
To calculate the work done by the crane, we use the formula:
Work = Force x Distance
In this case, the force is 5,200 Newtons and the distance is 3 meters.
Plugging in the values, we get:
Work = 5,200 Newtons x 3 meters = 15,600 Joules
Therefore, the crane did 15,600 J of work.
The correct answer is:
a) 15,600 J
