Question
e A grandfather clock is powered by the
descent of a 4.35-kg weight. (a) If the weight descends through a
distance of 0.760 m in 3.25 days, how much power does it deliver
to the clock? (b) To increase the power delivered to the clock,
should the time it takes for the mass to descend be increased or
decreased? Explain
