symbols that mean power

A contractor wishes to lift a load of bricks from the sidewalk to the top of a building by means of a winch. Since we know the expression for work, we can calculate work to be done by the force applied by the winch to lift the load. We are interested in the rate at which it is done,..

Power - Imagine two students positioned at track A and track B of 100 m length shifting 10 bricks from one end of the track to the other end. What is the amount of work done by each one of them? The amount of work done is same but the time taken to perform the work varies. In order to fin..
