Calculate the height through which a crane can lift a load of 4T when its motors operates at 4 HP for time 10 seconds.[g=10 m/s2, 1 HP = 750 W]?
Dear Student
Power of the motor = 4 HP = 4 x 750 W = 3000 W
Time for which it was run = 10 s
Energy consumed by the motor in this time = 3000 × 10 = 3 × 104 J
This energy is used to lift 4T load to height 'h'.
E = mgh
h = E/mg
