Question 17

An automatic sliding door is opened by a motor. Each time it opens, the motor pulls the door 1.5 m against a steady resistive force of 160 N. During a 2.0-minute test, the door opens 24 times. The motor does no work on the door between openings.

Calculate the mean useful power of the motor during the test.
