Answer:
P = 1500 Watt
Explanation:
Mechanical Work and Power
Mechanical work is the amount of energy transferred by a force.
Being F the magnitude of the force vector and s the distance, the work is calculated as:
W=F.s
Power is the amount of energy transferred or converted per unit of time. In the SI, the unit of power is the watt, equal to one joule per second.
The power can be calculated as:
[tex]\displaystyle P=\frac {W}{t}[/tex]
Where W is the work and t is the time.
The force to be considered is the weight of the mass of m=100 kg, [tex]g= 10\ m/s^2[/tex]:
F = 100 * 10 = 1000 N
The distance is s=3 m, thus the work done by the weight lifter is:
W = 1000 N * 3 m
W = 3000 J
Finally, the power is:
[tex]\displaystyle P=\frac {3000}{2}[/tex]
P = 1500 Watt
