Math Problem Statement
What is the work done in raising a 18 m rope to the top of the building? The rope weighs 2.3 kg/m and is hanging over the edge of a 37 m tall building so that 9 m of the rope is already on the top of the building? Take g=9.81m/sec^2 and give an answer that is correctly rounded to 3 decimal digits without the units.
