Expert Solution
Introduction:

Force, Work & Power Relation:

  • Force is defined as a push or pull capable of changing the state of rest or motion of an object. SI unit of Force is Newton (N).
  • Work done on an object is the enrgy required by an object to be raised to height h from its initial position. Mathematically, W= (Force required to raise the object) in N × (Height (h) lifted by the object) in m. SI Unit of Work is N.m or Joules (J).
  • Power is defined as work done in one second in SI unit. Unit of Power is J/s, W (Watt) or in HP.
