You are raising up a big bucket of water from a 25.9 m deep well. The combined mass of the water and the bucket is 13.9 kg. The bucket is attached to a heavy duty steel chain. The mass of the chain is 19.3 kg.
How much work do you perform during the lifting process?

8427 J is Incorrect.

If it takes 1.75 minutes for you to raise the bucket of water out of the well, then what was your average power?

80.25 W is Incorrect.

Respuesta :

The total work done is  5980 Joules and the power expended is 57 Watts.

What is work done?

The work done is the work done in the gravitational field as the bucket is raised up Thus work required to remove the bucket Wb;

Wb = 13.9 kg * 25.9 m * 9.8 m/s^2 = 3530 Joules

Height of the center of mass of chain = 25.9 / 2 = 12.95 m  

Work done by the chain Wc;

Wc = 12.95 * 19.3 * 9.8 = 2450 Joules  

Total work = 3530 + 2450 = 5980 Joules

Power expended = W / t = 5980 J / 105 sec = 57 J/s = 57 Watts
