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:
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.
