3 A train of mass 180000 kg ascends a straight hill of length 1.5 km , inclined at an angle of \(1.5 ^ { \circ }\) to the horizontal. As it ascends the hill, the total work done to overcome the resistance to motion is 12000 kJ and the speed of the train decreases from \(45 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) to \(40 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\). Find the work done by the engine of the train as it ascends the hill, giving your answer in kJ .
