A load of mass 1250 kg is raised by a crane from rest on horizontal ground, to rest at a height of 1.54 m above the ground. The work done against the resistance to motion is 5750 J.
Find the work done by the crane.
Assuming the power output of the crane is constant and equal to 1.25 kW, find the time taken to raise the load.
