The S.I. unit of mechanical power is ___

Open in App

Solution

Defintion of Power: Power is defined as the rate at which work is done.
Formula of the Power: Power, $P = \frac{W}{t}$ , where $W$ is the work done and $t$ is time.
S.I. unit of Power:
$U n i t o f P = \frac{J}{s} U n i t o f P = J s^{- 1} U n i t o f P = w a t t (W)$
Thus, the S.I. unit of power is watt (W).
