Answer:

The horsepower required is 235440 watt.

Explanation:

To find : What horsepower is required to lift an 8,000 pound aircraft six feet in two minutes?

Solution :

The horsepower formula is given by,


W=(mgh)/(t)

Where, W is the horsepower

m is the mass m=8000 pound

g is the gravitational constant g=9.81

t is the time t= 2 minutes

h is the height h=6 feet

Substitute all values in the formula,


W=(8000* 9.81* 6)/(2)


W=(470880)/(2)


W=235440

Therefore, The horsepower required is 235440 watt.
