Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 37P
. A particular hydraulic pile driver uses a ram with a mass of 1040 kg. If the maximum pile energy is 11,780J, how high must the ram he raised to achieve this value? Assuming it takes 0.62 s for the pile driver’s winch motor to raise the ram at a constant speed to this height, what is the power output by the motor in completing this task? Express your answer in both watts and horsepower.
