Homework Statement
If one ferretpower (fp, made-up unit) is equal to 0.0312 hp, and an electric motor puts out 2.75 x 10^5 fp, how high (in meters) can it lift a crate that has a mass of 2.75 slugs in 5 s?
Homework Equations
P = W/t W = mgh
1 hp = 745.7 watts
1 slug = 14.59 kg
The Attempt at a Solution
Converted fp to hp to get 8,580 hp. Converted hp to watts to get 6,398,106 watts. Found weight of crate to be 40.1 kg. Used W = Pt to get 31,990,530 J. Used W/mg = h to get my final answer of 81,405 m. Is this the same answer you got?
