Explanation:

a) How much work is done by gravity?

  • w = f x d
  • w = 950 x 10 x 5.5 = 52250j

b) How much work is done by tension?

  • v²=u²+2as
  • 0.75²=0.25²+2a x5.5
  • 0.56=0.06+2a x5.5
  • 2a x5.5 = 0.56 - 0.06
  • 2a x 5.5 =0.5
  • 11a=0.5
  • a = 0.5/11 = 0.05m/s²

w = f x d

w = 950 x 0.05 x 5.5 = 261.25j
