Answer:
120 kj is the correct answer
Explanation:
The work done by the constant force of 9.0 kN to move the body a distance of 40 m is
Work done = 9.0 × 40 = 360 kJ
This energy is converted to the gravitational potential energy of the body. Some of the energy is also dissipated as heat.
Gain in gravitational potential energy of the body = 20 × 12 = 240 kJ
Work done = Gain in GPE + Heat dissipated
Heat dissipated = 360 – 240 = 120 kJ

Answer:
Heat dissipated = 320 - 240 = 120kj
