according to a law of physics
work done = force * displacement
in this case
force = 500 N
displacement = 10 m
therefore work done = 500 * 10
work done = 5000 joules
now according to the formula for power
power = work done / time
therefore power = 5000 joules / 5 sec
= 1000 joules / seconds
but the efficiency of this machine is 80 %
therefore power = 80% of 1000
= 80 /100 * 1000
= 800 joules/ second
Ans) The power of the machine is 800 j/s
