A 10 hp motor is used to raise a 1000 Newton weight at a vertical distance of 5 meters. What is the work the motor performs?

1 answer:

4 0

The work done by a 10 HP motor when it raises a 1000 Newton weight at a vertical distance of 5 meters is 5kJ.

Define work. Explain the rate of doing work.

Work is the energy that is moved to or from an item by applying force along a displacement in physics. For a constant force acting in the same direction as the motion, work is easiest expressed as the product of force magnitude and distance traveled.

Since the force transfers one unit of energy for every unit of work it performs, the rate at which work is done and energy is used are equal.

Solution Explained:

Given,

Weight = 1000N and distance = 5m

A/Q, the work here is done in lifting then

Work = (weight) × (distance moved)

= 1000 X 5

= 5000Nm or 5000J = 5kJ

Therefore, the work done in lifting a 1000 Newton weight at a vertical distance of 5 meters is 5kJ.

Answer:

Gc(s) = $\frac{0.1s + 0.28727}{s}$

Explanation:

comparing the standard approximation with the plot attached we can tune the PI gains so that the desired response is obtained. this is because the time requirement of the setting is met while the %OS requirement is not achieved instead a 12% OS is seen from the plot.
