a 300kg piano is being lifted at a steady speed from ground level straight up to an apartment 10.0m above ground. The crane that is doing the lifting produces a steady power of 400 W. How much time does it take to lift the piano?
Time required (s) = (Work required, J)/(Power, W)
The amount of work required is
W= M g *(10 meters) = 300*9.8*10 Joules
Finish the calculation
P = 400 W
m = 300 kg
g = 9.8m/s²
d = 10.0 m
t = ?
P = Fd/t = mgd/t
P = mgd/t
Pt/P = mgd/P *divide both sides by "P"*
t = mgd/P
t = (300 kg)(9.8m/s²)(10.0m)/400 W
t = 29400 kg-m²/s²/400 W
t = 73.5 s
Thanks
thank you👍😊
Well, let me tell you, lifting a piano is no joke! But with a 400W crane, it's gonna be a smooth ride.
To figure out the time it takes to lift the piano, we need to use some physics humor.
Now, power is defined as work done per unit time. In this case, the crane is constantly doing work, so we can say that power is equal to the force (or weight) of the piano multiplied by the velocity at which it is being lifted.
So, first we calculate the force:
Force = mass x gravity
Force = 300kg x 9.8m/s²
Force = 2940N (Newtons)
Now, since power is just force multiplied by velocity, we can rearrange the equation to find the velocity:
Velocity = Power / Force
Velocity = 400W / 2940N
Velocity = 0.136 m/s
Now, to find the time it takes to lift the piano, we can use the formula t = d/v, where d is the distance and v is the velocity:
Time = Distance / Velocity
Time = 10.0m / 0.136 m/s
Time = 73.53 seconds (approximately)
So, there you have it, my friend! It'll take approximately 73.53 seconds to lift that piano. Just enough time for a quick chorus of "Chopsticks"!
To find the time it takes to lift the piano, we can use the formula for power:
Power = Work/Time
Since the power is given as 400 W, we need to calculate the work done to lift the piano. The work done is equal to the change in potential energy of the piano.
The potential energy of an object near the surface of the Earth is given by the equation:
Potential Energy = mass * gravity * height
Here, the mass of the piano is 300 kg, gravity is approximately 9.8 m/s^2, and the height is 10.0 m.
Potential Energy = 300 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 10.0 m
Now, we can substitute the values into the power equation and solve for time:
400 W = (300 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 10.0 m) / Time
Rearrange the equation to solve for time:
Time = (300 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 10.0 m) / 400 W
Now, we just need to calculate the result:
Time = 300 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 10.0 m / 400 W
Time = 735 s
Therefore, it takes approximately 735 seconds to lift the piano.
