A fully loaded, slow-moving freight elevator has a cab with a total mass of 1250 kg, which is required to travel upward 49 m in

3.1 min, starting and ending at rest. The elevator's counterweight has a mass of only 995 kg, and so the elevator motor must help. What average power is required of the force the motor exerts on the cab via the cable?

Answer:

659.01W

Explanation:

The cab has a mass of 1250 kg, the weight of the cab represented by Wc will be

Wc = mass of the cab × acceleration due to gravity in m/s²

Wc = 1250 × 9.81 = 12262.5 N

but the counter weight of the elevator represented by We = mass × acceleration due to gravity = 995 × 9.81 = 9760.95 N

Net weight = weight of the cab - counter weight of the elevator = Wc - We = 12262.5 - 9760.95 = 2501.55 N

the motor of the elevator will have to provide this in form of work

work done by the elevator to lift the cab to height of 49 m = net weight × distance (height) = 2501.55 × 49m

power provided by the motor of the elevator = workdone by the motor / time in seconds

Power = (2501.55 × 49) ÷ ( 3.1 × 60 seconds) = 659.01 W

If there is a huge boulder on your lawn and you want to determine its density, but it is
Olin [163]

There are different options here but all of them work by approximating and assuming.

i) that the boulder is above ground.

ii) that the bottom surface of the boulder is known.

iii) the shape of the boulder is taken into account.

The most accurate way is measuring it by displacement method but the boulder is immovable hence the volume can be calculated by measuring the boulder or a waterproof box to be built around the boulder and calculate the volume occupied by boulder.

All the above methods are estimating methods.

*Another way to find the density is through specific gravity.

S.G = <u>Density</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>object</u>

Density of water

If the material that makes the boulder is known that is if it's stone or a mineral then the specific gravity can be found.

If the boulder is purely rock then S.G lies between 3 - 3.5 and the density of water is known thus the density of the boulder can be found without moving the boulder.

This is what I think after correction and allthe best!

To heat the house, the boiler transfers 15 MJ of energy in 10 minutes.
Harrizon [31]

The formula is P = E/t, where P means power in watts, E means energy j , and t means time in seconds. This formula states that power is the consumption of energy per unit of time.

P = 15 M / 10*60

M = mega = 10⁶

15 *10⁶ / 600

= 25000 watt
