Suppose a 300–g kookaburra (a large kingfisher bird) picks up a 84.0–g snake and raises it 2.30 m from the ground to a branch. How much work did the bird do on the snake?
I know that W=deltaPE, and PE=mgh. I keep getting 1046.64. Please help!

Maybe buy a new calculator. mgh is quite correct but I get 1893
Sorry m was in grams, make that 1.893
