Question

A bodybuilder deadlifts a 215 kg weight to a height of 0.90 m above the ground. If he deadlifts this weight 10 times in a span of 45 seconds, how much power has he exerted?
Group of answer choices

a. 8,530 W

b. 421 W

c. 853 W

d. 4,210 W

Answer 1

A bodybuilder deadlifts 215 kg to a height of 0.90 m. If he deadlifts this weight 10 times in 45 s, the power exerted is 421 W (b.)

What is power?

In physics, power (P) is the work (W) done over a period of time.

• Step 1. Calculate the work done by the bodybuilder each time.

The bodybuilder lifts a 215 kg (m) weight to a height of 0.90 m (h). Being the gravity (g) of 9.81 m/s², we can calculate the work done in each lift using the following expression.

W = m × g × h = 215 kg × 9.81 m/s² × 0.90 m = 1.9 × 10³ N

• Step 2. Calculate the work done by the bodybuilder over 10 times.

W = 10 × 1.9 × 10³ N = 1.9 × 10⁴ N

• Step 3. Calculate the power exerted by the bodybuilder.

The bodybuilder does a work of 1.9 × 10⁴ N in a 45-s span.

P = 1.9 × 10⁴ N/45 s = 421 W

A bodybuilder deadlifts 215 kg to a height of 0.90 m. If he deadlifts this weight 10 times in 45 s, the power exerted is 421 W (b.)
