The height raised by the load is 4.18 m.
Given data:
The power rating of steam Engine is, P = 5 hp = 5 × 745.7 = 3728.5 W.
The weight of load is, W' = 2000 lb = 2000 × 4.45 = 8900 N.
The time interval is, t = 10 s.
We know that the rate of doing any work is known as Power. So here the power will be equal to the work done to raise the load for 10 s of time. Then the expression is,
[tex]P = \dfrac{W}{t}\\\\P = \dfrac{W' \times h}{t}[/tex]
Here, h is the height raised by load.
Solving as,
[tex]3728.5 = \dfrac{8900 \times h}{10}\\\\h = 4.18 \;\rm m[/tex]
Thus, we can conclude that the height raised by the load is 4.18 m.
