An electric winch is used to lift a heavy crate. The useful work done against gravity in lifting the crate is 4800 J.

The efficiency of the winch system is 75%.

Calculate the total work done by the electric motor.

Use the equation:

efficiency=useful work donetotal work done by the motor×100% \text{efficiency} = \frac{\text{useful work done}}{\text{total work done by the motor}} \times 100\% efficiency=total work done by the motoruseful work done​×100%
