The work done in bringing the rock from the ship to the ground is the potential energy it has before Angel drops it. Potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (height)You have said that this amounts to 300 N-m . 300 N-m = (5 kg) x (gravity) x (10 m)Divide each side by 10m : 30 N = (5 kg) x (gravity)Divide each side by 5 kg : 6 N/kg = 6 m/s² = gravity=============================By the way ... The rock doesn't do the work on the way down. Gravity does it !
