1,000 grams = 1 kilogram
so 55 megagrams = 55,000 kilograms
100 cm = 1 meter
so 500 cm = 5 meters
Acceleration of gravity on Earth = 9.8 m/s²
Weight = (mass) x (gravity)
========================================
Work = increase in potential energy =
(weight) x (height) =
(mass) x (gravity) x (height) =
(55,000 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (5 m) =
2,695,000 joules .
