3 A van of mass 2500 kg descends a hill of length 0.4 km inclined at \(4 ^ { \circ }\) to the horizontal. There is a constant resistance to motion of 600 N and the speed of the van increases from \(20 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) to \(30 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) as it descends the hill. Find the work done by the van's engine as it descends the hill.
