A water well has a shaft from the water level to the top of the stone wall that is 147. m long. A full bucket of water has a total mass of 18.7 kg. The bucket is raised and lowered by a winch. What is the power needed for the winch to raise a full bucket of water up the shaft at a constant speed of 2.22 m/s?

What is your average power if you lift a 36.1 kg box at a constant speed to a height of 1.31 m in 7.87 s?
A typical human brain has a mass of 1.4 kg, which makes up about 2% of a person's mass. However, the brain requires 20% of the body's power consumption. In essence, the brain requires 10 times as much power as any other organ in the body. The average power output of the human brain is about 2.0 × 10¹ W. Assume that the brain's power output could be converted into mechanical work and calculate how high we could use this power to lift an apple (m = 0.20 kg) in one minute. Number pa Units
A chain is held on a frictionless table with one fourth hanging over the edge. If the chain has a length of 57 cm and a mass of 0.020 kg, how much work is required to pull the hanging part back onto the table. Use g = 10 N/kg.
A bucket of water of mass 20 kg is pulled at constant velocity up to a platform 45 meters above the ground. This takes 18 minutes, during which time 8 kg of water drips out at a steady rate through a hole in the bottom. Find the work needed to raise the bucket to the platform. (Use g=9.8m/s^2) (include units)
A farmer is using a rope and pulley to lift a bucket of water from the bottom of a well that is hy = 9.5 m deep. The farmer uses a force F1 = 59.5 N to pull the bucket of water directly upwards. The total mass of the bucket of water is mb + mw = 3.1 kg. a.Calculate how much work Wf in J the farmer does on the bucket of water (via the rope) to raise it to ground level. b.Calculate how much work Wg in J gravity does on the bucket filled with water as the farmer lifts it up the well. c. Calculate the net work Wnet in J done on the bucket of water by the two forces F1 and Fg.
