A crane raises a 150 N weight to a height of 2.0 m in in 5.0 s. The crane does work at a rate of
The work done is (force) x (distance) = (150N) x (2m) = 300 joules.
The crane does the work at the rate of (300 J) / (5 sec) = 60 joules per second.
That rate ... (work done) / (time to do the work) ... is called power.
That 60 joules per second is called 60 watts .
