Answer

(a) $1.15\times 10^5J$ (b) $170m$

Work Step by Step

(a) We can find the required energy as $E=W=Pt$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $E=(1.33)(24h\times 3600s/h)$ $E=1.15\times 10^5J$ (b) We know that $W=mgh$ This can be rearranged as: $h=\frac{W}{mg}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $h=\frac{1.15\times 10^5}{70(9.8)}$ $h=170m$
