CBSEENSC9006389

A woman pulls a bucket of water of total mass 5 kg from a well which is 10 m deep in 10 s. Calculate the power used by her.

Solution

Mass of the bucket of water, m = 5 kg

Depth of the well, h = 10 m

Time taken to draw water from the well, t = 10 s

Acceleration due to gravitu, g = 10m/s2

Power is given by, P = Work doneTime taken 

                              = mght = 5×10×1010 = 50 W
