Question
Measurements in the 1800s showed that a draft horse could provide a maximum steady output power over the course of a working day; that’s how the “horsepower,” about 750 W, came to be defined. Another animal that’s used for pulling loads for which there are good data is the sled dog. A 38 kg dog can provide power to pull a sled with a force of 60 N at a steady 2.2 m/s. Dogs and horses have approximately the same 25%
A horse is working steadily, providing 750 W of output power. How much food energy does the horse need to work for 1 hour, to the nearest MJ?
A. 3 MJ B. 5 MJ C. 9 MJ D. 11 MJ

- A fully loaded, slow-moving freight elevator has a cab with a total mass of 1500 kg, which is required to travel upward 60 m in 3.5 min, starting and ending at rest. The elevator's counterweight has a mass of only 930 kg, so the elevator motor must help pull the cab upward. What average power is required of the force the motor exerts on the cab via the cable?
