Question

A hi-lo lifts an 25 N skid to top of a pallet rack. The pallet rack is 3.6 meters tall. The hi-lo takes 12 seconds to get the skid on top. Calculate the power output of the hi-lo.

Answer 1

Answer:

7.5Watts

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force of lift  = 25N

Height  = 3.6m

Time  = 12s

Unknown:

Power output  = ?

Solution:

Power is the rate at which work is done ;

     Power  = $\frac{force x height }{time}$  

   Power  = $\frac{25 x 3.6}{12}$    = 7.5Watts
