To solve the problem step by step, we will follow these calculations: ### Step 1: Calculate the Work Done The work done by the engine to pump the water can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Work Done} (W) = mgh \] Where: - \( m = 400 \, \text{kg} \) (mass of the water) - \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) (acceleration due to gravity) ...
