Question
A chain 67 meters long whose mass is 28 kilograms is hanging over the edge of a tall building and does not touch the ground. How much work is required to lift the top 5 meters of the chain to the top of the building? Use that the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 meters per second squared. Your answer must include the correct units.
