In a loading a lorry a man lifts boxes each weight 200N through a height of 3.5m.
a). How much work does he do in lifting one box?
b). How much energy is transferred when one box is lifted?
c). If he lifts four boxes per minute at what power is he working?

Respuesta :

The work done on the boxes and the energy spent is 700J while the power required to lift 4 boxes per minute is 2.8kW

This work done on an object is the force required to move that object from point A to point B.

Data Given;

  • Weight (mg) = 200N
  • Distance (s) = 3.5m

Work Done

This is the work done to move the boxes from point A to point B.

[tex]w = F.s\\F = ma = mg = 200N\\w = 200 * 3.5\\w = 700J[/tex]

The work done to move the object is 700J

Energy

This is used to calculated the energy used to carry the work done and the formula is given as

[tex]E = force * displacement\\E = F.s\\E = 200 * 3.5\\E = 700J[/tex]

The energy transferred when he lifts one box is 700J

Power

Power is the rate at which energy is used with respect to time

[tex]P = E/t\\[/tex]

The energy required to lift 4 boxes in one minutes is

[tex]700 * 4 = 2800[/tex]

Now we can calculate the power used

[tex]P = Energy / time\\P = 2800 / 1 \\P = 2800W = 2.8kW[/tex]

The power required to move four boxes in 1 minutes is 2.8kW

From the calculations above, the following was gotten

  • work done = 700J
  • Energy = 700J
  • Power = 2800W or 2.8kW
