During the winter season, a young chemical engineer observed a snow from a pavement that is being scooped up to a height of 10 ft by an endless bucket-scoop, and is then dropped into a container. He noticed that, at the highest point, the snow moves at 3 ft/s. A total of 33 hp is needed to scoop snow at the rate of 100 lb/s. Assuming a loss of 10% due to friction, calculate the work done and the percentage of total work need to melt and break up the snow.
