Answer:
B. A repulsive force of 8.0*10^3 N.
Explanation:
As we know by Coulomb's law that the electrostatic force between two charges is given as

here we know that


r = 3.0 m
now we have


since both charges are similar charges so they will repel each other by the force we calculated above so correct answer will be
B. A repulsive force of 8.0*10^3 N.
Work needed = 23,520 J
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
height = 12 m
mass = 200 kg
Required
work needed by the crane
Solution
Work is the transfer of energy caused by the force acting on a moving object
Work is the product of force with the displacement of objects.
Can be formulated
W = F x d
W = Work, J, Nm
F = Force, N
d = distance, m
F = m x g
Input the value :
W = mgd
W = 200 kg x 9.8 m/s²x12 m
W = 23520 J
I would think that you would multiply then divide
Potential energy = mgh
Potential energy = 10 x 9.8 x 1.3
Potential energy = 127.4 J
