Answer:
5880lb-ft of work is done
Explanation:
The length of the heavy rope is given as 60ft and the weight per length is 0.7lb/ft.
Therefore, the total weight of the heavy rope is
60×0.7 =42lb.
The work done in pulling the heavy rope to the top of the building is w = Fd.
Where
F is force is measured in pounds;42lb
d is distance through which the heavy rope is to be pulled measured in feet; 140ft
w= 42lb×140ft= 5880lb-ft
