Given data
Power (P) = 50 hp,
= 50 × 746, we know that 1 hp = 746 W.
= 37300 Watts (Watt = J/s)
Work = 6.40 ×10⁴ J
Power is defined as rate of doing work and the unit of power is Watt.
Mathematically,
Power = (Work / time) Watts
= 6.40 ×10⁴ / time
37300 W = 6.40 ×10⁴ J /time (Where time in seconds)
=> time = Work/Power
= 6.40 ×10⁴/37300
= 1.74 seconds
Therefore , the engine need 1.74 seconds to do 6.40 6.40 ×10⁴ J of work
