Question

What horsepower is required to lift an 8,000 pound aircraft six feet in two minutes?

Answer 1

The horsepower required is 235440 watt.

Explanation:

To find : What horsepower is required to lift an 8,000 pound aircraft six feet in two minutes?

Solution :

The horsepower formula is given by,

`W=(mgh)/(t)`

Where, W is the horsepower

m is the mass m=8000 pound

g is the gravitational constant g=9.81

t is the time t= 2 minutes

h is the height h=6 feet

Substitute all values in the formula,

`W=(8000* 9.81* 6)/(2)`

`W=(470880)/(2)`

`W=235440`

Therefore, The horsepower required is 235440 watt.
