  • Meaning of Power
  • Formulas for Power

What is Power?

Power is defined as time rate of doing work. It is measured in Watt or Js-1.

Formulas for Power:

Power =  \( \frac {work-done}{time} \scriptsize = \normalsize \frac {J}{s} \)

Power = \( \frac {force \: \times \: distance}{time}\scriptsize = \normalsize \frac {J}{s} \)  

P \( \scriptsize = Force \: \times \: \normalsize \frac {distance}{time}\)  

Velocity = \( \frac {distance}{time}\)

P = Force × Velocity

P = F × V (N ms-1)

Units of Power:

  • Watt
  • Joule per second (J/s)
  • Newton meter per second (N m/s)
  • kilogram metre-squared per second-cubed (Kg m2/ s3)

Example 8.3.1:

A boy lifts a mass of 50 kg vertically through a height of 3 m in 20 seconds. Calculate the power developed.
