Question

A hi-lo lifts an 25 N skid to top of a pallet rack. The pallet rack is 3.6 meters tall. The hi-lo takes 12 seconds to get the skid on top. Calculate the power output of the hi-lo.

Answer 1

7.5Watts

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Force of lift = 25N

Height = 3.6m

Time = 12s

Unknown:

Power output = ?

Solution:

Power is the rate at which work is done ;

Power =
`(force x height )/(time)`

Power =
`(25 x 3.6)/(12)` = 7.5Watts
