A crane lifts a load of 15000N to a height 40m in 50 seconds. Calculate the power of the crane
1 answer:
Answer:
P = 12000 W
Explanation:
General data:
- F = 15000 N
- d = 40 m
- t = 50 s
- P = ?
Work is force times unit of distance. So in order to calculate the power we must first calculate the work.
Formula:
Replace and solve
once the work is found, we proceed to find the power according to the formula:
The power of the crane is <u>12000 Watts.</u>

Complete Question
In an action movie, the villain is rescued from the ocean by grabbing onto the ladder hanging from a helicopter. He is so intent on gripping the ladder that he lets go of his briefcase of counterfeit money when he is 130 m above the water. If the briefcase hits the water 6.0 s later, what was the speed at which the helicopter was ascending?
Answer:
The speed of the helicopter is
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The height at which he let go of the brief case is h = 130 m
The time taken before the the brief case hits the water is t = 6 s
Generally the initial speed of the briefcase (Which also the speed of the helicopter )before the man let go of it is mathematically evaluated using kinematic equation as
Here s is the distance covered by the bag at sea level which is zero
