Answer:

  • 59.65 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the time, we can use the following formula which is;

→ Power = Work done/ time taken.

Here we have power = 19kW and work done is 6.8 × 10⁷ Joules.

On substituting the respective values; we have;

→ 19000 W = 6.8 × 10⁷ / t

→ t = 6.8 × 10⁷/19000

t = 3579s 59.65 minutes

Hence is takes approximately 59.65 minutes to do the given amount of work.
