If a machine lifts a load of 500N upto 40m in 2 minutes, how much is the power of the machine?
Solution:
Here,
Load lifted (F) = 500 N
Height (h) = 40 m
Time (t) = 2 minutes = 2 x 60 s = 120 s
Work done (W) = F x h = 500 x 40 = 20 000 J
To find: Power (P) = ?
We know,
Power (P) = W / t = (20000 / 120)
= 166.67 W
Hence, the required power of the machine is 166.67 Watt.
