Work done on the plane by the arresting cables


A plane weighing 240 kN (that is, 27.0 tons) lands on an aircraft carrier. The plane is moving horizontally at 67.9 m/s (that is, 152 mi/h) if its tail-hook grasps hold of the arresting cables. The cables bring the plane to a stop in a distance of around 88.0 m. Determine how much work is done on the plane by the arresting cables?
