change in potential energy = m g h = 12 * 9.81 * 15 = 1766 Joules
power = joules per second = 1766/3.5 =505 Watts
Input power = 505/.15 = 3363 Watts
Input energy = 3363 Watts * 15 seconds = 50,451 Joules
power = joules per second = 1766/3.5 =505 Watts
Input power = 505/.15 = 3363 Watts
Input energy = 3363 Watts * 15 seconds = 50,451 Joules
