Question

at a construction site a crane lifts a block of mass,m,vertically upwards through a height of 70 m at constant speed by means of a strong cable.The block experiences a force of magnitude 8 N as a result of air friction as it is lifted vertically upwards.
The cable does 377 860 J of work in moving the block through a height of 70 m.calculate the mass of the block.

bobpursley · Answer

work done=mass*g*height+frictionforce*height solve for mass.
