Physics problems: conservation laws

 

Problem 1.

If a 5 tons beam is raised 6 meters, what is it's potential energy? If it is raised another 8 meters in 6 seconds, what is the work done?

 

Solution:

The potential energy is

 

If we raise it another 8 meters then the work, which will be done, is equal to increase of the potential energy (it does not depend on the traveled time):
