22.10 A machine is used to raise a 100 kg
weight 1 m vertically upwards over a pe-
riod 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 the machine do while pushing the
handle (in J)?
