A winch is driven by a 4.0 kW electric motor and is lifting a load of 400 kg to a height of 5.0 m.
If the lifting operation takes 8.6 s, calculate the overall efficiency of the winch and the motor
system. (State the answer as a %)
Using an inclined plane with an IMA of 6, you push a box up the ramp and measure the amount of force required to push the box. You calculate that the AMA of the ramp is 4.8. Calculate the efficiency of the ramp.
A coal power plant has a rated output of 150 MW and a first law efficiency of 41%. Coal has an energy density of 24 MJ/kg. How many metric tons of coal are wasted by the power plant per hour while running at full capacity (that is, how much of the coal that was burned did not actually contribute to generating electricity)? Express your answer in metric tons of coal.
