As we have learned

Power -

Rate of doing work

- wherein

Power is defined as the time rate at which work is done or energy is transferred

 

 Output power of motor = mgh /t 

\frac{(30 \times 1000)\times 10 \times 40}{15\times 60}

Efficiency =( Output power of motor / Power consumed by motor   ) * 100 

30 = \frac{30 \times 1000\times 10 \times 40 }{15 \times 60 \times p }*100

p = 44. 44 KW
