Question

A 2 300-kg pile driver is used to drive a steel I-beam into the ground. the pile driver falls 3. 40 m before coming into contact with the top of the beam, and it drives the beam 13. 0 cm farther into the ground before coming to rest. Using energy considerations, calculate the average force the beam exerts on the pile driver while the pile driver is brought to rest. magnitude is within 10% of the correct value. This may be due to round off error, or you could have a mistake in your calculation. Carry out all intermediate results to at least four-digit accuracy to minimize round off error. N

Explanation / Answer

avg Force = 2300*3.53*9.8/0.13 = 6.12*10^5 N
