Answer:
1470 W
Explanation:
Power: This can be defined as the rate at which work is done or energy is used up. The S.I unit of power is Watt (W).
The expression for power is given as,
P = Energy/time
P = mgh/t ...................... Equation 1
Where P = power, m = mass, h = height, t = time, g = acceleration due to gravity.
Given: m = 75 kg, g =9.8 m/s², h = 1 m, t = 1 s.
Substitute into equation 1
P = (75×1×9.8)/1
P = 735 W.
From the above,
1 hp = 735 W
2 hp = (2×735) W
2 hp = 1470 W.
Hence 2 hp = 1470 W
