A man raises a box of mass 50 kg to a height of 2 m in 20s, while another man raises the same box to the same height in 50s. Calculated:

1. the work done, and
2. the power developed by each man. Take g = 10 N kg^-1.

A boy takes 3 minutes to lift a 20 litre water bucket from a 20 m deep well, while his father does it in 2 minutes. Compare:

1. the work, and
2. power developed by them.

A boy takes 3 minutes to lift a 20 litre water bucket from a 20 m deep well, while his father does it in 2 minutes.

How much work each does? Take density of water = 10³ kg m^-3 and g = 9.8 N kg^-1.
