Answer: 2000 watts
Explanation:
Given that,
power = ?
Weight of object = 200-N
height = 4 m
Time = 4 s
Power is the rate of work done per unit time i.e Power is simply obtained by dividing work by time. Its unit is watts.
i.e Power = work / time
(since work = force x distance, and weight is the force acting on the object due to gravity)
Then, Power = (weight x distance) / time
Power = (200N x 4m) / 4s
Power = 8000Nm / 4s
Power = 2000 watts
Thus, 2000 watts of power is needed to lift the object.
