Answer:

t = 4.17 [s]

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that work is defined as the product of force by distance.

W = F*d

where:

F = force [N] (units of Newtons)

d = distance = 6.34 x 10⁴ [mm] = 63.4 [m]

In order to find the force, we must determine the weight of the box, the weight can be determined by means of the product of mass by gravitational acceleration.

w = m*g

where:

m = mass = 1.47 x 10⁴ [g] = 14.7 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

w = 14.7*9.81

w = 144.2 [N]

Therefore the work can be calculated.

W = w*d

W = 144.2*63.4

W = 9142.72 [J] (units of Joules)

Power is now defined in physics as the relationship of work at a given time

P = W/t

where:

P = power = 2190 [W]

t = time [s]

Now clearing t, we have.

t = W/P

t = 9142.72/2190

t = 4.17 [s]
