Atowboat pulls a ship with a horizontal force of 6.00⋅103n, moving the ship through the harbor 3.00km. if the boat does this in 15 min, how much power does the towboat use?

The towboat moves the ship by a distance

so the work done by the towboat to move the ship is the product between the force applied and this distance:


The time taken for this process is

So the power used by the twoboat is the ratio between the work done and the time taken
