Question
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.

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