Totally NOT Late Snow Day Blog

Totally NOT Late Snow Day Blog
By Yufan Lu
I live in an apartment complex in Johnston (with Jimmy).

I will measure the work required to move the snow on the parking lot in front of my apartment.
Length of the parking lot  42.7 m
Width of the parking lot 14.2 m
Height of the snow 0.3 m
Density of the snow 500 kg/m^3 (it really varies)
This means that there is approximately 182 m^3 of snow that weights 91000 kg.
Wow that is around 1000 Yufan
Such heavy

Anyway all snow is pushed to the edge. Like this:

So snows are pushed 7.1 m average.
Force to move the snow = mg = 891800N
Work required 7.1*891800 = 6331780 J
