Question

Calculate the amount of power in Watts) required to move an object weighing 525 N from point A to point B within 36 seconds. Distance between point A and point B is 3.5 meters and they are at the same level.

Answer 1

Power required, P = 0 watts

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Weight of the object, W = 525 N

Time taken to move from point A to B is, t = 36 s

Distance between A and B is 3.5 m.

Power required to move an object is given by work done divided by time taken.

`P=(W)/(t)`

Work done,
`W=Fd\ cos\theta`

The weight of the object is acting in downward direction and object is moving in forward direction such that
`\theta=90`

`W=Fd\ cos(90)`

Since, cos(90) = 0

This gives, work done = 0

As a result, the power required to move that object is 0 watts. Hence, this is the required solution.
