Answer:
t = 3 tâ‚€
Explanation:
The formula for the power delivered by the engine can be given in terms of the change in the potential energy of the box as follows:
P = P.E/t = mgy/t
where,
P = Power delivered by the engine
m = mass of box lifted = mâ‚€
g = acceleration due to gravity
y = vertical distance or height box covered = yâ‚€
t = time taken = tâ‚€
Therefore,
P = mâ‚€gyâ‚€/tâ‚€
tâ‚€ = mâ‚€gyâ‚€/P Â -------------- equation (1)
Now, if we change the mass of box as:
m = 3mâ‚€
y = yâ‚€ (constant)
P = Constant
Then,
P = 3mâ‚€gyâ‚€/t
t = 3mâ‚€gyâ‚€/P
using equation (1):
t = 3 tâ‚€
