Question 4

An electric motor winds up the driving weight of a tower clock. The motor has a mean input power of 200 W and an efficiency of 0.75. It raises the 30 kg driving weight through a vertical height of 3.0 m at a steady speed.

Gravitational field strength is 10 N/kg.

How long does the motor take to raise the weight?
