(i) The gain in potential energy (PE) is given by the formula:
\(\Delta PE = mgh\)
where \(m = 160 \text{ kg}\), \(g = 9.8 \text{ m/s}^2\), and \(h = 20 \text{ m}\).
\(\Delta PE = 160 \times 9.8 \times 20 = 32,000 \text{ J}\)
(ii) The gain in kinetic energy (KE) is given by the formula:
\(\Delta KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2\)
where \(m = 160 \text{ kg}\) and \(v = 1.25 \text{ m/s}\).
\(\Delta KE = \frac{1}{2} \times 160 \times (1.25)^2 = 125 \text{ J}\)
(iii) The total work done (WD) by the drum is the sum of the gain in potential energy, gain in kinetic energy, and the work done against resistance:
\(WD = 32,000 + 125 + 20,000 = 52,125 \text{ J}\)
The power output \(P\) is given by:
\(P = \frac{\Delta (WD)}{\Delta T}\)
where \(\Delta T = 41.7 \text{ s}\).
\(P = \frac{52,125}{41.7} = 1250 \text{ W}\)
