Answer:
Power_input = 85.71 [W]
Explanation:
To be able to solve this problem we must first find the work done. Work is defined as the product of force by distance.

where:
W = work [J] (units of Joules)
F = force [N] (units of Newton)
d = distance [m]
We need to bear in mind that the force can be calculated by multiplying the mass by the gravity acceleration.
Now replacing:
![W = (80*10)*3\\W = 2400 [J]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=W%20%3D%20%2880%2A10%29%2A3%5C%5CW%20%3D%202400%20%5BJ%5D)
Power is defined as the work done over a certain time. In this way by means of the following formula, we can calculate the required power.

where:
P = power [W] (units of watts)
W = work [J]
t = time = 40 [s]
![P = 2400/40\\P = 60 [W]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%20%3D%202400%2F40%5C%5CP%20%3D%2060%20%5BW%5D)
The calculated power is the required power. Now as we have the efficiency of the machine, we can calculate the power that is introduced, to be able to do that work.
![Effic=0.7\\Effic=P_{required}/P_{introduced}\\P_{introduced}=60/0.7\\P_{introduced}=85.71[W]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Effic%3D0.7%5C%5CEffic%3DP_%7Brequired%7D%2FP_%7Bintroduced%7D%5C%5CP_%7Bintroduced%7D%3D60%2F0.7%5C%5CP_%7Bintroduced%7D%3D85.71%5BW%5D)
<span>The correct option is D. Soil can best be described as the loose covering of weathered rocks and decaying organic matter. There are different types of soil, the type of soil formed depends majorly on the type of parent rock from which the soil is formed and the amount of organic matter present in the soil.</span>
