Q&A
Question:
How is the power related to the speed at which a body can be lifted ? How many kilograms will a man working at the power of 100 W,be able to lift at constant speed of 1 m/s vertically ?(g = 10$m/s2$)

Let a body of mass m be lifted to a height h is time t.
Work done in time t,i.e., W = mgh
Thus,power = $\frac{w}{t}$=$\frac{mgh}{t}$=mg (h/t) = mg x speed
where h/t is the speed at which the body is being lifted.
Aliter : P = Fv = mg x speed.
Since power = mg x speed,
m = $\frac{power}{gxspeed}$=$\frac{100 W}{\left(10m/s2\right)\left(1 m/s\right)}$=10 kg (as power=100 W and speed = 1 m/s)
