Answer:
B. 17.15 watts
Explanation:
Given that
Time = 10 seconds
height = distance = 0.7 meters
weight of sack = mg = F = 245 newtons
Power = work done/ time taken
Where work done = force × distance
Substituting the given parameters into the formula
Work done = 245 newton × 0.7 meters
Work done = 171.5 J
Recall,
Power = work done/time
Power = 171.5 J ÷ 10
Power = 17.15 watts
Hence the power expended is B. 17.15 watts
