Power

AI Thread Summary

To calculate the power required to lift a 58 kg object 12 meters in 5.6 seconds, the formula used is Power = Work / Time. First, calculate the work done, which is the product of the weight of the object (mass times gravitational acceleration) and the height lifted. The weight is approximately 568.8 N (58 kg x 9.81 m/s²), and the work done is 6,825.6 J (568.8 N x 12 m). Finally, dividing the work by the time (5.6 s) gives a power output of approximately 1,219.3 W. This calculation provides a clear understanding of the power needed for the lifting task.

Thread 'Minimum mass of a block'

Here we know that if block B is going to move up or just be at the verge of moving up ##Mg \sin \theta ## will act downwards and maximum static friction will act downwards ## \mu Mg \cos \theta ## Now what im confused by is how will we know " how quickly" block B reaches its maximum static friction value without any numbers, the suggested solution says that when block A is at its maximum extension, then block B will start to move up but with a certain set of values couldn't block A reach...

Thread 'Calculation of Tensile Forces in Piston-Type Water-Lifting Devices at Elevated Locations'

Figure 1 Overall Structure Diagram Figure 2: Top view of the piston when it is cylindrical A circular opening is created at a height of 5 meters above the water surface. Inside this opening is a sleeve-type piston with a cross-sectional area of 1 square meter. The piston is pulled to the right at a constant speed. The pulling force is（Figure 2）： F = ρshg = 1000 × 1 × 5 × 10 = 50,000 N. Figure 3: Modifying the structure to incorporate a fixed internal piston When I modify the piston...

Thread 'Current through shorted branch -- clarification'

In this seemingly simple circuit, applying KCL, I get the current in the shorted branch as ## 3E/(2R) - 2E/(2R) = E/(2R) ## but some sources suggest that it is ##5E/ (2R) ## which is right and why?
