To calculate the work done by the crane, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Work} = \text{Force} \times \text{Distance}
\]

Where:
- Force = 5,200 Newtons
- Distance = 3 meters

Substituting the values:

\[
\text{Work} = 5200 \, \text{N} \times 3 \, \text{m} = 15,600 \, \text{J}
\]

Therefore, the amount of work done by the crane is **15,600 J**.

The correct answer is **c 15,600 J**.
