Answer:
9780 W
Explanation:
Power: This can be defined as the rate at which work is done. The S.I unit of power is Watt (W).
From the question,
P = W/t....................... Equation 1
Where P = power, W = work, t = time.
But,
W = F×d.............. Equation 2
Where F = force, d = distance.
Substitute equation 2 into equation 1
P = (F×d)/t................. Equation 3
Given: F = 24450 N, d = 12 m, t = 30 s.
Substitute these vales into equation 3
P = (24450×12)/30
P = 9780 W.
Hence the power needed for the elevator trip = 9780 W
Answer:
9,780Watts
Explanation:
Power is defined as the rate of workdone with respect to time.
The formula for calculating power P needed by the eleveator is expressed as;
Power = [tex]\frac{workdone}{time}[/tex]
Since Workdone = Force*distance then;
[tex]Power = \frac{force * distance}{time}[/tex]
Given the weight of elevator = 24,450Newtons
distance moved by the elevator = 12m
time taken = 12seconds.
Substituting this values in the formula given will give;
[tex]Power = \frac{24,450*12}{30} \\Power = \frac{293,400}{30} \\Power = 9,780Watts\ or\ 9.78kW[/tex]
The amount of power needed for the elevator trip is 9,780Watts
