Solution 292EUP


Step 1 of 2:

We are going to find the time taken by the crane to raise the box of mass m to a height h.

The mass of the box m = 200 lbm

The height h = 60 ft

The power delivered by the crane P = = 7000 Btu/h = 1.944 Btu/s = 1510 ft.lbf/s

The acceleration due to gravity g = 32.174 ft/s2
