Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of forklift = 750kg
Height of lift = 18m
Time taken = 28s
Unknown:
Work done = ?
Power = ?
Solution;
The work done by the forklift is given as:
Work done = mass x acceleration due to gravity x height
Work done = 750 x 9.8 x 18 = 132300J
Power is the rate at which work is done;
Power = [tex]\frac{work done }{time}[/tex]
Insert the parameters and solve;
Power = [tex]\frac{132300}{28}[/tex] = 4725W
