A load of mass 160 kg is pulled vertically upwards, from rest at a fixed point O on the ground, using a winding drum. The load passes through a point A, 20 m above O, with a speed of 1.25 m s-1 (see diagram). Find, for the motion from O to A,

  1. the gain in the potential energy of the load,
  2. the gain in the kinetic energy of the load.

The power output of the winding drum is constant while the load is in motion.

  1. Given that the work done against the resistance to motion from O to A is 20 kJ and that the time taken for the load to travel from O to A is 41.7 s, find the power output of the winding drum.
