A hi-lo lifts an 25 N skid to top of a pallet rack. The pallet rack is 3.6 meters tall. The hi-lo takes 12 seconds to get the skid on top. Calculate the power output of the hi-lo.

7.5Watts

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force of lift  = 25N

Height  = 3.6m

Time  = 12s

Unknown:

Power output  = ?

Solution:

Power is the rate at which work is done ;

     Power  =  

   Power  =    = 7.5Watts

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
