Answer:
187.38 m
Explanation:
Using the equation of motion
s = ut + 1/2gt²...................... Equation 1
Where s = distance of fall, u = initial velocity of the rock, t = time taken for the rock to fall from rest, g = acceleration due to gravity of venus.
Given: u = 0 m/s ( from rest), t = 6.5 s, g = 8.87 m/s².
substituting into equation 1
s = 0(6.5) + 1/2(8.87)(6.5)²
s = 0 + 374.7575/2
s = 187.38 m.
Hence the rock will fall 187.38 m
The work done by the elephant to lift one log is the force multiplied by the height at which the log has been lifted:

And so, the total work done to lift the 7 logs is 7 times the work done to lift each log:
