how much power is used by a 40 kg athlete in climbing a 10 metre high ladder in 10 seconds.... I NEED EXPLANATION. ​

Answer»

Explanation:

Mass of the athlete = 40kg

Weight of the athlete = 40*9.8 N = 392N

Height of the LADDER = 10m

Formula for work done = Force*DISPLACEMENT = Weight*Displacement (Here weight is the force of gravity acting on the body)

Therefore, work done by the athlete against gravity = 392*10 J = 3920J

Formula for POWER = Work done/Time taken

Therefore, 3920/10 = 392 Js^{-1} = 392 W (ANS)

Here is your answer. Hope it helps!
