A hydraulic ram pushes a cylindrical soil-sampling tube into the ground. The force acts in the direction in which the tube moves. The ram pushes the tube through two stages.
| Stage | Constant force in kN | Distance moved in cm |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1.5 | 20 |
| 2 | 2.4 | 15 |
Calculate the total work done by the ram on the tube.
