Question

a crane lifts four pallets of bricks each of which weigh 5000 N. the crane lifts each pallet a height of 30m. the crane takes 4 minutes to do this how much useful power did the crane produce to life the bricks?

Answer 1

Answer:

625 W

Explanation:

Applying

P = W/t.................... Equation 1

Where p = power, W = Work, t = time

But,

W = Force (F) × distance (d)

W = Fd........................ Equation 2

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

P = Fd/t.................... Equation 3

From the question,

Given: F = 5000 N, d = 30 m, t = 4 munites = (4×60) seconds = 240 seconds

Substitute these values into equation 3

P = (5000×30)/240

P = 625 Watt
