part 1
mass = ρ x V
mass = 1739 kg/m³ x 3.8 km³ = 6608.2 kg
PE (potential energy)= mgh
PE = 6608.2 kg x 9.81 x 403
PE = 2.61 x 10⁷ J
part 2
megaton of TNT (Mt) =4.2 x 10¹⁵ J
convert PE to Mt:
2.61 x 10⁷ J : 4.2 x 10¹⁵ J = 6.21 x 10⁻⁹ Mt
(a) The minimum force F he must exert to get the block moving is 38.9 N.
(b) The acceleration of the block is 0.79 m/s².
<h3>
Minimum force to be applied </h3>
The minimum force F he must exert to get the block moving is calculated as follows;
Fcosθ = μ(s)Fₙ
Fcosθ = μ(s)mg
where;
- μ(s) is coefficient of static friction
- m is mass of the block
- g is acceleration due to gravity
F = [0.1(36)(9.8)] / [(cos(25)]
F = 38.9 N
<h3>Acceleration of the block</h3>
F(net) = 38.9 - (0.03 x 36 x 9.8) = 28.32
a = F(net)/m
a = 28.32/36
a = 0.79 m/s²
Thus, the minimum force F he must exert to get the block moving is 38.9 N.
The acceleration of the block is 0.79 m/s².

According to another source this is what I got
<span>0.735 J ( Ep-potential energy, m-mass,g-gravitational acceleration = 9.81m/s², h-height; Ep = m * g * h; Ep = 0.0300 kg * 9.81 m/s² * 2.5 m )
</span>Hope it helps
