You carry a 5 kg sack of potatoes across the store for 5 minutes, and you wait in line holding it for 30 seconds before you get

tired and drop it. You then lift the sack of potatoes upwards for 160 cm and place it on the counter. How much work did you do at the store?

Answer:

The only work done is when the person lifts the sack over a distance, W = 78.48 [N]

Explanation:

We have to remember the definition of work, which tells us that work is the result of a force by a distance, we must apply this concept in each of the movements of the person in the problem described.

W = F * d

where:

F = force [N]

d = distance [m]

The force is given by the producto of the mass by the gravity.

F = 5 * 9.81 = 49.05 [N]

W = 49.05 * 1.6 = 78.48 [N]

Igoryamba

Steps 1 and 2)

The variables are W = work, P = power, and t = time. In this case, W = 9514 joules and P = 347 watts.

The goal is to solve for the unknown time t.

-----------------------

Step 3)

Since we want to solve for the time, and we have known W and P values, we use the equation t = W/P

-----------------------

Step 4)

t = W/P

t = 9514/347

t = 27.4178674351586

t = 27.4 seconds

-----------------------

Step 5)

The lawn mower ran for about 27.4 seconds. I rounded to three sig figs because this was the lower amount of sig figs when comparing 9514 and 347.

-----------------------

Note: we don't use the mass at all

hram777 [196]
One possible unit is liter, which is a basic unit in metric system. 1 liter=10 cm^3, or 0.001 m^3, so we also know that other possible units include cubic centimeters or cubic meters, which are derived units, since they are derived from basic unit, meter, representing the length, breadth, and height of the cuboid.
