Answer:

1298.5watt

Explanation:

Power is defined as the rate at which work is done

Expressed mathematically as;

P = F × d/ t; F = force or weight of object ;d is height or distance sustain and t is time covered

Hence for 1 person the power consumption is ;

Note weight =mass× acceleration of free fall due to gravity,g

g is known as 9.8m/S2

Time taken is 1min which is 60 sec

60 ×9.8 × 5.3/60 = 51.94 watt

Hence for 25 persons we have

25 × 51.94 =1298.5watt

1.3kilo watt( kilo is 1000)

A 7-hp (shaft) pump is used to raise water to an elevation of 19 m. if the mechanical efficiency of the pump is 82 percent, dete
Hoochie [10]
Convert the units of power,W = 7 hp = 7 * 745.69 = 5219.83 WCalculate the power input to the pump using the efficiency of the pump equationn=Wpump/Wshaft
Substitute 0.82 for n and 5219.83 for Wshaft0.82=Wpump/5219.83   Wpump=0.82*5219.83=4280.26 WCalculate the mass flow ratein=Wpump/(gz_2 )Where g is the acceleration due to gravity, and z_2 is the elevation of water. Substitute 4280.26 for Wpump, 9.81 m/s^2 for g, and 19m for z_2in = 4280.26 / 9.81 * 19 = 22.9640 m^3/sCalculate the volume flow rate of waterV=m/ρWhere ρ is the density of water. Substitute 22.9640  m^3/s for in and 1000  m^3/kg for ρ, we get V = 22.9640 / 1000 = 0.0230 kg/sTherefore, the volume flow rate of water is 0.0230 kg/s

Suppose you give a 10 Newton push to Ryan on skis (he weighs 50 kg), how much will he accelerate?
Talja [164]

Well we can just use F=ma. The force is 10N, the mass is 50 kg, solve for a. Well since we kg and N, no conversion is necessary. So just plugging in the numbers, we get

10N = 50 kg · a

\frac{10N}{50kg}=a

A newton is just \frac{kg·m}{s^{2}}

a=\frac{\frac{10kg·m}{s^{2}}}{50kg}

The s^2 and 50 kg you multiply

a=\frac{10kg·m}{50kg·s^{2}}

The kg's cancel and 10/50 is 1/5

\frac{1}{5}·\frac{m}{s^{2}}

So the acceleration is 1/5 m/s^2

No friction present means: Ek = Ep

So Ek = mgh = 10 * 9.8 * 2 = 196 J

Vesnalui [34]
The only thing you need to know in order to solve this task is that <span>plank length (which is force x), should equal the increase in potential energy, so what we have now : (mass)* g * (height).
It has to look like that:  </span>
<span>F * 3.0 = 150 x 9.81 x 1.20 
Then solve for F, the result should be in newtones = 588N

Do hope it makes sense.</span>
