Answer:
The power output of the first motor is, P = 2.0 x 10⁴ watts
Explanation:
Given data,
The height of the building, h = 10 m
The mass of the elevator, m = 1000 kg
The time duration of the motor to do this work, t = 5.0 s
The force acting on the elevator,
F = m x g
= 1000 x 9.8
= 9800 N
The work done by the elevator,
W = F x h
= 9800 x 10
= 98000 J
The power output of the first motor,
P = W / t
= 98000 / 5
= 19600 watts
= 1.96 x 10⁴ watts
Hence, the power output of the first motor is, P = 2.0 x 10⁴ watts
