During terrible weather at a ski-flying world championship, a ski jumper tried to adjust for bad conditions midway down the ramp but completely lost control and tumbled wildly off the side at its bottom into a scattering crowd. The 73-kg jumper left the ramp about 45 m lower than his starting position. After hitting the ground, the jumper crashed wildly and descended down the hill another 20 vertical meters before coming to rest. Here, friction cannot be ignored. Calculate the total work done on the ski jumper to bring him to rest. Round the final answer to the nearest whole number.
