Problem

During testing, a battery-operated winch lifts a load and is found to do 1.2×105 J1.2\times10^{5}\,\text{J} of work in 4 min4\,\text{min}. a. (i) Determine the average power output of the winch in watts. b. (ii) Express the result obtained in part (i) in kilowatts. c. (iii) If 1 horsepower (hp)=746 W1\,\text{horsepower (hp)} = 746\,\text{W}, calculate the approximate horsepower rating of the winch.
