Problem

An electric motor rated at 12 kW12\,\text{kW} is used to lift a loaded lift of total mass 600 kg600\,\text{kg} vertically. If 10%10\% of the energy supplied by the motor is lost to friction, a. (i) Find the maximum height through which the lift can be raised in 30 s30\,\text{s}. b. (ii) Calculate the work done against gravity during this period (take g=9.8 m/s2g = 9.8\,\text{m/s}^2).
