The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to calculate the power developed by the coolie while raising the load and walking. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the solution: ### Step 1: Calculate the Work Done in Lifting the Load The work done (W) in lifting the load can be calculated using the formula: \[ W = F \cdot d \] where: - \( F \) is the force applied (which is equal to the weight of the load), - \( d \) is the displacement (height raised). The force \( F \) can be calculated as: \[ F = m \cdot g \] where: - \( m = 80 \, \text{kg} \) (mass of the load), - \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) (acceleration due to gravity). Now, substituting the values: \[ F = 80 \, \text{kg} \cdot 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 = 800 \, \text{N} \] The displacement \( d \) is the height of the coolie: \[ d = 1.5 \, \text{m} \] Now, we can calculate the work done: \[ W = 800 \, \text{N} \cdot 1.5 \, \text{m} = 1200 \, \text{J} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the Total Time Taken The total time taken for both lifting and walking is: \[ t = 2 \, \text{s} + 2 \, \text{s} = 4 \, \text{s} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Power Developed Power (P) is defined as the work done per unit time: \[ P = \frac{W}{t} \] Substituting the values we have: \[ P = \frac{1200 \, \text{J}}{4 \, \text{s}} = 300 \, \text{W} \] ### Step 4: Convert Power to Kilowatts Since the options are given in kilowatts, we need to convert watts to kilowatts: \[ P = \frac{300 \, \text{W}}{1000} = 0.3 \, \text{kW} \] ### Conclusion The power developed by the coolie is: \[ \text{Power} = 0.3 \, \text{kW} \] ### Final Answer The correct answer is not among the given options, but based on our calculations, the power developed by the coolie is 0.3 kW.
