A machine raises a load of 750 N through a height of 16 m in 5 s. calculate:
- energy spent by machine,
- power at which the machine works.

उत्तर
- Energy spent by machine or work done = F × S
Work, W = 750 × 16 = 12000J - Power spent = `"work done"/"time taken " = "12000j"/"5s" = 2400 "w"`

A truck driver can load oil drums into the back of the truck by pushing them up a sloping plank, or by lifting them directly. Each drum has a mass of 80 kg, the plank is 3 m long, and the back of the truck is 0.8 m above the ground.

(i) How much force would be needed to lift a drum into the truck directly/without using the plank? (Take g = 10 m/s2)
(ii) How much energy would be required in lifting the drum into the truck without the plank?
