Answer:
The building was moved to a distance of, S = 510.2 m
Explanation:
Given data,
The mass of the building, m = 1.45 x 10⁶ kg
The work done to overcome the force of resistance, E = 1 x 10⁸ J
The force of resistance of the building, 2% of building weight
Fₓ = 2 x 1.45 x 10⁶ x 9.8 / 100
= 284200 N
The work done on the building,
E = Fₓ · S
∴ S = E / Fₓ
= 1.45 x 10⁶ / 284200 N
= 510.2 m
Hence, the building was moved to a distance of, S = 510.2 m
