Concept explainers
Write a program to determine how long, in units of seconds, it will take a motor to raise a load into the air. Assume the user will specify the power of the motor in units of watts, the rated efficiency as a percentage (in whole number form — for example, 50 for 50%), the mass of the load in kilograms, and the height the load is raised in the air in units of meters. As a test case, you may assume the user provides 100 watts for the power of the motor, 60% for the efficiency of the motor, 100 kilograms for the mass of the load, and 5 meters for the height the load is raised.
