Question

In loading a lorry a man lifts boxes each of weight 100N throughta height of 1.5 m. a)how much work does he do in lifting 1 box b)how much energy is transferred when 1 box is lifted c)if he lifts 4 boxes/minute@ what power is he working

Answer 1

a. W = Fd = 100 * 1.5 = 150 Joules.

b. E = mgh = 100 * 1.5 = 150 Joules.

c. V = 4boxes/min * 1.5m/box * (1/60)min/s = 0.1m/s.

Po = FV = 100 * 0.1m/s = 10 Joules/s =
10 Watts.

Answer 2

a.work done = 100*1.5 = 15o Joules
b.energy = 10*10*1.5 = 150 Joules
c.power = 150 / 60 = 2.5 W

Answer 3

Work done =m*g*h
(m*g =weight)
Then,work=100*1.5
=150J

Work done = Energy consumed
=150J

Power=work done/time taken
=4*150/60
=10W
