An electric tug tows an aircraft in a straight line along a taxiway in two stages. In each stage, the towing force is constant and acts in the direction in which the aircraft moves.
| Stage | Towing force in N | Work done by the tug in J |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 12 000 | 720 000 |
| 2 | 9000 | 450 000 |
Calculate the total distance moved by the aircraft during the two stages.
