Question

A pail in a water well is hoisted by means of a frictionless winch, which consists of a spool and a hand crank. When Jill turns the winch at her fastest water-fetching rate, she can lift the pail the 28.0 m to the top in 11.0 s. Calculate the average power supplied by Jill's muscles during the upward ascent. Assume the pail of water when full has a mass of 7.30 kg.

Answer 1

182.28 W

Step-by-step explanation:

Here ,

m = 7.30 Kg

distance , d= 28.0 m

time , t = 11.0 s

average power supplied = change in potential energy/time

average power supplied = m×g×d/time

average power supplied = 7.30×9.81×28/11

average power supplied = 182.28 W

the average power supplied is 182.28 W
