Question
A 2,200-kg pile driver is used to drive a steel I-beam into the ground. The pile driver falls 4.00 m before coming into contact with the top of the beam, and it drives the beam 15.2 cm farther into the ground as it comes to rest. Using energy considerations, calculate the average force the beam exerts on the pile driver while the pile driver is brought to rest.

- A 2,200-kg pile driver is used to drive a steel I-beam into the ground. The pile driver falls 4.60 m before coming into contact with the top of the beam, and it drives the beam 15.0 cm farther into the ground as it comes to rest. Using energy considerations, calculate the average force the beam exerts on the pile driver while the pile driver is brought to rest. 588925.42 magnitude Write an expression for the work done by all of the forces acting on the beam as it moves into the ground and relate that work to the change in energy of the pile driver in order to find the force that the beam exerts on the pile driver.
