Problem

Two electric hoists each raise a

200\,\text{kg}

steel beam vertically a distance of

3.0\,\text{m}

. Hoist X completes the lift in

12\,\text{s}

, whereas hoist Y completes the lift in

8.0\,\text{s}

. By what factor is the average power output of hoist Y greater than that of hoist X? a) 2.0 b) 1.5 c) 2.25 d) 1.33
