Question

9. In 35 s..a pump delivers 55,000 g of oil into a barrel on a platform 25 m

above the pump intake pipe.
a. Calculate the work done by the pump.
25m
b.
Calculate the power of the pump.

Answer 1

• The work done by the pump is 13475 J.
• The power of the pump is 385 W.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a force causes a body to move work is being done on the object by the force. Work is the measure of energy transfer when a force moves an object through a distance. The work done is the product of mass, gravity, and height.

Work done = m * g * h

= 55 * 9.8 * 25

Work done = 13475 J.

Power is defined as the rate of doing work with time.

Power = work done / time

= 13475 / 35

Power = 385 W.
