Q1Energy, Work and PowerFree sample

A crane is used to raise a block of mass 600 kg600\text{ kg} vertically upwards at a constant speed through a height of 15 m15\text{ m}. There is a resistance to the motion of the block, which the crane does 10000 J10\,000\text{ J} of work to overcome.

(a)

Find the total work done by the crane.

2M
(b)

Given that the average power exerted by the crane is 12.5 kW12.5\text{ kW}, find the total time for which the block is in motion.

2M
