We're not given the weight of the dumb-bell, but the weight of the load he lifts is (150 x 9.8) = 1,470 newtons.

The potential energy gained by the weight through a rise of 2 meters is

(m g h2) - (m g h1) = (m g) (h2 - h1) = (150 x 9.8 x 2) joules

The power is the rate at which the potential energy increases = (150 x 9.8 x 2) / 2

= 1,470 joules per second = 1,470 watts(rounded)

= about 1.97 horsepower !

What is the force that supports an object against gravity?

The force that supports an object against gravity is called the normal force. It is exerted by a surface to prevent objects from falling through it. The normal force equals the force of gravity acting on the object.


What are the factors on which gravity depends on?

Gravity depends on the mass of the objects being attracted to each other, and the distance between them. G = m1 x m2 / d2 Gravity (its force) equals the product of the masses of the two objects attracting each other divided by the square of the distance between them. Or, if you like, gravimetric attraction is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the objects being considered and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.


What acts between all objects in the universe?

Gravity is the force that acts between all objects in the universe, attracting them towards each other. This force is responsible for keeping celestial bodies in orbit around each other and creating the structure of the universe on a large scale.


What is mars gravity force earths gravity equals 1?

Mars has about 38% of Earth's gravity, meaning that objects on Mars weigh less than they do on Earth. For example, if you weigh 100 pounds on Earth, you would weigh about 38 pounds on Mars.


When air resistance equals pull of gravity?

When air resistance equals the pull of gravity, terminal velocity is reached. This is experienced by all falling objects if given enough time, and this is classically explained in Physics using skydivers.
