Find out power of an engine which can extract coal at a rate of 5×10^5 kg/hour from a 200 m deep mine

Answer»

Answer:

this is the correct answer

Explanation:

Calculate the power of an engine required to lift 100000 KG of coal per hour from a mine 360m deep.

Answer----->

Mass(m) = 100000 kg = 5*10^5 kg

Height (h) = 200m

Acceleration DUE to gravity = 10 m/s^2

Time(t) = 1 hour = 3600 s

Then,

P.E = mgh

     = 5*10^5 * 10 * 360 J

Work done = P.E = 5*10^5 * 10 * 360 J

We know,

Power = Work done / Time

           = 5*10^5 x 10 x 360/3600

           =5* 10^5 watt.
