Arun & his friends were travelling in a car. The car suddenly stops due to engine failure. If Arun and his friends apply a force of 1000 N to drag the car to the nearest garage that is 1.2 km from that place in 20 minutes, determine the total power spent by them.
1000 W
Given, force =1000 N
Displacement =1.2 km=1200 m
Time taken =20 minutes =1200 s
Work done = force × displacement =1000×1200=12×105
Power =Work donetime
=12×1051200
=1000 W
Therefore, total power spent by them is 1000 W.
