Hi all I am having a really dumb moment and can not tanspose tis formula correctly any help would be fab!

An elctric hoist on a side of a building lifts a quantity of electrical equipment through a distance of 45m in 3.5 mins the motor rating of the hoist is 189.19w

Calculate the mass of the load

bad day explodebad day explode

 
We are assuming that the motor rating in this instance is it's output.

We are also ignoring other small losses in the system.

So,

the output of the motor x run time = energy output of motor

and

increase in potential energy of the load = mass x acc'n due to gravity x lift height

and, in this case

energy output of motor = increase in potential energy of the load

and don't forget run time needs to be in seconds.

Pt=mgh

m=(Pt)/(gh)
