Part A How many crates would you have to load onto the truck in one minute for the average power output you use to lift the crates to equal 0.50 hphp

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of crates is 84580.

Explanation:

mass, m = 30 kg

height, h = 0.9 mm  

Power, P = 0.5 hp = 0.5 x 746 W = 373 W

time, t = 1 minute = 60 s

Let the number of crates is n.

Power is given by the rate of doing work.

$P = \frac{n m gh}{t}\\\373 =\frac{n\times 30\times9.8\times 0.9\times 10^{-3}}{60}\\\\n =84580$
