Question: 2 2 . 1 0 A machine is used to raise a 1 0 0 kg weight 1 m vertically upwards over a period of

22.10 A machine is used to raise a 100 kg weight 1 m vertically upwards over a period of 2 s. The machine is operated by pushing a handle downwards with a constant force of 15 N over a distance of 0.3 m, and the machine uses 2 kW of electrical power while its raising the weight. (a) What is the increase in gravitational potential energy of the weight (in J)?(b) How much work does the operator of themachine do while pushing the handle (in J)?(c) How much electrical energy does the machine consume while raising the weight (in J)?(d) What is the efficiency of the machine while it is raising the weight? (e) What is the apparent efficiency of the operator when raising the weight? (f ) Explain why the efficiency found in part (e) does not violate any laws of energy conservation?
