Answer:
0.0483m or 48.3 mm
Explanation:
Let g = 10m/s2
At 8m, the pile has a potential energy of
P = mgh = 3000*10*8 = 240000 J
This energy is converted to kinetic energy once the pile drops down to the bottom:
Taking gravity into consideration, the net force acting on the pile once it hits the ground is
Therefore the net deceleration is:
We can find out how far it's driven into the ground with the following equation of motion:
where v = 0 is the final velocity, which is 0 because it stops, is the initial velocity when it hits the ground, a is the deceleration, and s is the distance it travels into the ground
or 48.3 mm
