To what height can a bucket of water (12L) be raised by doing the work of 588 J?

Initial data: V (volume of water in a bucket) = 12 l (0.012 m3); F (work done to lift the bucket) = 588 J; we do not take into account the mass of the bucket itself in the calculation.

Constants: g (acceleration of gravity) = 9.8 m / s2; ρ (density of water in a bucket) = 1000 kg / m3.

1) Calculate the mass of water in a bucket: m = ρ * V = 1000 * 0.012 = 12 kg.

2) Determine the height to which it will turn out to raise the bucket: A = F * s = m * g * h, whence h = A / (m * g) = 588 / (12 * 9.8) = 5 m.

Answer: The bucket with water can be raised by 5 m.
