Question:
A 500 kg mass is attached to the shaft of a generator with a cable as shown in the sketch (see accompanying file). Assuming no losses, if the mass falls 10 meters from an initial resting position, (a) how much energy (in J) will it deliver to the generator? (b) How long will it take to reach the ground? (Assume a free-fall simplification here.) (c) What is the average power (in W) delivered by the generator as the mass falls?
