Question

need help with this one

A contractor lifts beams (985 kg) 52 m using a 10 hp-rated crane. Convert
10 hp to Watts (use 1 hp = 746 W) and calculate the available power to lift
the beams if only HALF of the rated power is used (that is, the crane is
operated at half-capacity). Then use this information to determine how much
time it takes to lift each beam, rounded to the nearest second.
