Answer:
2587.2 J.
Explanation:
From potential energy,
The work done to lift the chain = potential energy of the chain.
W = mgh............... Equation 1
Where W = work done to lift the chain, m = mass of the chain, g = acceleration due to gravity of the chain, h = height of the chain.
But,
m = m'd............... Equation 2
Where m' = density of the chain, d = length of the chain.
Substitute equation 2 into equation 1
W = m'dgh................ Equation 3
Given: m' = 2 kg/m, d = 12 m, h = 11 m, g = 9.8 m/s²
Substitute into equation 3
W = 2(12)(11)(9.8)
W = 2587.2 J.
