A leaky bucket, which weighs 5 N empty and initially has 40 N worth of water in it, is lifted into the air by a rope which weighs .5 N/m at a constant speed of one meter per second. If the bucket is leaking water at a rate of 2 N per second, how much work is performed by pulling the bucket up 10 meters?
