A boy is holding a ball 1 m from the ground with a force of 20 N. He holds it still for 60seconds. How much power in watts is being used in this situation?

Power = 0.33 Watts

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance = 1m

Force = 20N

First of all, we would solve for the work done by the boy.

Workdone = force * distance

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Workdone = 20*1 = 20J

Now to find power;

Power = workdone/time

Power = 20/60

Power = 0.33 Watts.
