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? How much work did it do to raise its own center of mass to the branch?

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? How much work did it do to raise its own center of mass to the branch?

I got the first question but not the last
work to raise its own cm

work=.300*g*2.30 Joules
