To calculate the work done, you can use the formula:
\[ \text{Work} = \text{Force} \times \text{Distance} \]
Given:
- Force = 5,200 Newtons
- Distance = 3 meters
Now, plug in the values:
\[ \text{Work} = 5,200 \, \text{N} \times 3 \, \text{m} = 15,600 \, \text{J} \]
So the work done by the crane is \( 15,600 \, \text{J} \).
The correct answer is:
**d) 15,600 J**
\[ \text{Work} = \text{Force} \times \text{Distance} \]
Given:
- Force = 5,200 Newtons
- Distance = 3 meters
Now, plug in the values:
\[ \text{Work} = 5,200 \, \text{N} \times 3 \, \text{m} = 15,600 \, \text{J} \]
So the work done by the crane is \( 15,600 \, \text{J} \).
The correct answer is:
**d) 15,600 J**
