Answer:
Work done required is 3567.2 J
Explanation:
Given :
Length of chain, l = 72 m
Mass of chain, M = 29 kg
Linear mass density of chain, μ = =
= 0.40 kg/m
Let x be the length of the chain which lift to the top of the building.
Work done required to lift the chain is equal to the potential energy of the chain.
W = ∫μg (72 - x ) dx
Here g is acceleration due to gravity.
The limit of integration is from 0 to 14.
W = μg ( 72x - x²/2)
Substitute 0.40 kg/m for μ, 9.8 m/s² for g and 14 m for x in the above equation.
W =
W = 3567.2 J
